Charges have been filed against Cole Allen, the suspect in the alleged assassination attempt on President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Allen faces attempted assassination of a sitting president, a charge that carries a potential life sentence. Prosecutors have entered into evidence an email Allen sent to family members before the alleged shooting.

Senior officials and independent analysts are already raising serious questions about whether the full system is financially viable, even by Pentagon standards.
On the commodity side, soybeans surged sharply on Monday with most contracts gaining eleven to fifteen cents, pushing the national average cash price to just over eleven dollars. Soymeal and soy oil futures moved higher in tandem. Meanwhile, Ray Dalio is advising investors to hold as much as fifteen percent of their portfolios in gold, citing mounting uncertainty around the Iran conflict and a broader structural shift away from dollar-denominated transactions globally.
