Hey there, from CNN, I'm David Rind, with the five things you need to know from Monday, April 27th. The suspect identified by sources in connection to the shooting at the White House Corresponds dinner over the weekend is expected to be arraigned in Washington DC in federal court this afternoon. Investigators are also examining an alleged message sent by 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen from Torrance, California, where he apparently shared a number of broad grievances against the Trump administration. CNN's Caitlin Pollan says more. As far as what will happen today in court, Cole Allen, he is likely to face charges at least two initially of federal firearms, offense, and as well as assaulting a federal officer. We know that he shot at and hit a U.S. Secret Service agent who was there on the scene and as they were exchanging gunfire with him. So those charges, we have not seen them yet in court. We are likely to see them, but they would only be initial charges. The sort of things that would be able to bring him into court have him enter his initial
pleadings at an arrangement today where they could ask a judge to keep him in detention as he awaits trial. Senior White House official told CNN that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles will convene a meeting this week with the White House operations team, U.S. Secret Service, and leadership at the Department of Homeland Security to discuss security protocol and best practices for protecting President Donald Trump at major events. FBI Director Cash Patel told Fox News this morning he believes security held up on Saturday, but if they do redo the dinner, things are going to have to change. A lot more news coming up including Sam Altman and Elon Musk are going toe-to-toe in court this week. We'll tell you why. Stick around. President Donald Trump is meeting with top national security officials today to address the ongoing stalemate with Iran, and that's according to two sources familiar with the matter. CNN's Kevin Lipteck is in Washington, Kevin, what are they going to be talking about here? David, the meeting comes after he abruptly canceled plans for his top envoy, Steve
Woodcoff and Jared Kushner, to travel to Pakistan for another round of negotiations over the weekend. In the meeting, they will discuss his options for moving ahead, including whether or not to resume the U.S. bombing campaign that's now unhold after Trump extended his ceasefire. Trump has appeared hesitant in public on reviving the conflict. Today, a source familiar told CNN that the Iranians have put forward a new proposal that would reopen the straight-of-war moves, but it's unclear about the nuclear issue. The proposal reported by Iran-aligned media in Lebanon and cited by Iran's state-linked test-name news agency would reportedly require the U.S. to first end the war with guarantees it would not resume before proceeding to talks about managing the straight and Iran's nuclear program. The re-selection begins today in a high-profile tech trial that will pit Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Some backstory here, Musk used to work with Altman on OpenAI before leaving in 2018 and starting a rival AI company.
At the heart of this dispute is OpenAI's corporate structure. Musk alleges the company betrayed its original non-profit mission to develop AI for the public good, not private gain, when it developed a for-profit arm. OpenAI denies that and says Musk is motivated by jealousy and regret. I recently asked CNN AI correspondent Hadas Gold why the average American should pay attention to this Silicon Valley soap opera. What happens here should Elon Musk win could directly impact the biggest, most well-known AI company that we have today, OpenAI, and it could directly impact its business and its potential planned IPO, but it will be interesting to hear from these people. I'm sure that they'll be asked questions about their views on AI and what it can do because that affects whether you're something you're just doing it for the money or whether you're doing it for the good of humanity. Can you hear more of my conversation with Hadas on the latest episode of the One Thing podcast just search for CNN One Thing wherever you listen? The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in a case today that the Make America Healthy
Again movement is paying close attention to. This case centers around Bayer, which is the maker of the herbicide roundup. You've probably seen it at the hardware store. Critics say roundup and its main ingredient glyphosate causes cancer. Bayer insists it does not and says it is safe to use in line with an EPA review, despite already committing to pay out billions of dollars over claims that it is liable for health harms. Justices will decide whether Americans can bring further cases against Bayer. One more break when we come back, parts of the country could see some dangerous weather today. I'll tell you where next. A severe weather outbreak is building toward a dangerous peak today in parts of the Midwest. Nearly 40 million people from the Mississippi Valley to the lower Ohio Valley face threats of tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail. Level 4 out of 5 risk of severe thunderstorms is in place for parts of southern Illinois and eastern Missouri for the most significant threat of intense tornadoes looms later this afternoon. This severe weather system carved a destructive path across parts of the plains and south,
and 50 reported tornadoes since Thursday. So all we've got for now, next update comes your way later this evening. I'll talk to you later.
