Several media outlets have identified the suspect through law enforcement sources as 31-year-old Cole Allen, though The Hill has not independently verified the suspect’s identity. Allen is from Torrence, Calif., and is a professional game designer with a master’s degree in computer science. Read more about Allen 

He left behind a written “manifesto,” according to several outlets including CBS News, where he wrote about his anger toward the Trump administration. The writing suggested he was targeting members of Trump’s team, per The New York Times. 

^ President Trump slammed CBS News’s Norah O’Donnell for reading the reported manifesto. 

How did the suspect make it inside?: There has been wide criticism of the level of security to enter the dinner with the president and top White House officials present. 

U.S. attorney general Todd Blanche says the suspect had checked into the hotel. The Washington Post reports that the alleged gunman sprinted through the magnetometer and made it roughly 60 feet before being stopped. Trump joked the NFL “should sign him up.”  

This was the same venue as Reagan’s attempted assassination: The Associated Press pointed out that former President Ronald Reagan was shot in the chest when leaving the Washington Hilton, the very same hotel where a gunman tried to enter the ballroom on Saturday.

Plus: King Charles will deliver an address to Congress this week, travel to New York and Virginia and attend a state dinner. 

Keep in mind: King Charles is the fifth-great grandson of King George III, who was the king of Great Britain during the Revolutionary War. King Charles is visiting to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. breaking away from King George III’s reign. It’s reminding me of the light-hearted jokes made when Prince Harry saw the ‘Hamilton’ musical. 

That’s what the Supreme Court is deciding today.  

The case: “The justices will weigh whether geofence warrants — an investigatory tool that compels companies to disclose data from cellphones and other devices at a specific place and time — violate the Fourth Amendment’s bar on unreasonable searches and seizures. The warrants are typically employed by investigators when they know the time and location of a crime but not a suspect’s identity.” 

This case has major implications for law enforcement in the digital age. Read more from The Hill’s Ella Lee
