How another shooter got so close to Trump

About this episode

Authorities arrested an armed man as he attempted to storm the White House Correspondents’ dinner while President Trump was onstage. Aamer Madhani of the Associated Press details how events unfolded inside the ballroom.

How the would-be attacker got so close to Trump has raised serious questions about security at the venue. Politico reports on authorities’ efforts to understand the protocols that allowed the suspect to approach so closely and how he brought firearms inside.

News of the incident surrounding Trump hasn’t deterred the U.K.’s King Charles from a planned visit to the U.S. this week. David Charter of the Times of London joins to discuss how the visit could affect relations between the two countries.

Plus, where peace talks with Iran stand after a U.S. delegation canceled a negotiating trip to Pakistan, Trump’s nominee for Fed chief appears to be headed for confirmation, and a record-setting day at the London Marathon.

Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.
