Motive of suspect still under investigation, Todd Blanche tells 'Meet the Press'


Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says the motive of the person suspected of carrying out the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner is still under investigation, telling NBC News' "Meet the Press" that "preliminary" findings suggest he was targeting administration officials.

"We're still investigating a motive, and that's something that will necessarily take a couple of days at least," he told moderator Kristen Welker. "We believe he was targeting administration officials in this attack, attempted attack, but that's again, quite preliminary."

Those officials "likely" include the president, Blanche added, "but I want to wait and not get ahead of us on that."

The incident has raised security concerns and questions over how the suspect managed to breach the perimeter with a weapon.
