Schmitt talks ‘left-wing violence’
We are learning more this Monday about the 31‑year‑old suspect who has been charged with attempted assassination after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this weekend. Cole Tomas Allen made his first court appearance on Monday as he faces multiple federal charges. Authorities say Allen opened fire at a Secret Service checkpoint, injuring an officer before being subdued; the officer is expected to recover. Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt was asked about the violence over the weekend alongside other GOP Senators, including Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
