President Donald Trump and members of his administration were the likely targets of a suspect who fired on a Secret Service agent at the White House Correspondents’ Association ​dinner in Washington Saturday night, U.S. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

“It does appear that he did, in ​fact, have set out to target folks ​that work in the administration, likely including the ⁠president,” Blanche said.
