Donald Trump attributes religious motives to the 31-year-old gunman who stormed the White House foreign correspondents’ dinner in Washington, D.C., yesterday.
“The shooter is a sick man, he’s had a lot of hate for a long time. He had written a very anti-Christian manifesto,” US President Donald Trump told the Fox News network, Donald Trump, earlier in the day. “When you read his manifesto … it appears that he hates Christians,” he added. “His family knew he had a problem,” Donald Trump pointed out, referring to a person “obviously very disturbed.”
Previously, acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche claimed (NBC News) that the 31-year-old shooter “had targeted individuals, in officials, working in the government, possibly the president.” “The suspect is not cooperating with investigators,” Todd Blanche stressed. According to reports, the charges that will be brought against him in Federal Court will be first, assault on a federal agent and second, use of a firearm with intent to kill a federal agent.
