Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told CBS News as FACE THE Nation that the suspect in custody is not cooperating with investigators. Blanche did not name the individual, but two sources familiar with the matter tell NPR the suspect is 31 year old Cole Allen from Torrance, California. Blanch says investigators are combing through evidence they've gathered so far, including from the suspect's electronic devices. Based on preliminary information, Blanch says the suspect is believed to have traveled by train from Los Angeles to Chicago and then on to Washington, D.C. where he had a room at the Hilton Hotel where the correspondence dinner was taking place. Investigators believe the suspect was targeting Trump administration officials, but Blanche says they are still looking into a potential motive. Ryan Lucas, NPR News, Washington.
