Todd Blanche on WHCD: We Believe That the Two Firearms He Had Was Purchased Within the Last Couple of Years

RUSH EXCERPT:BLANCHE: "Law enforcement, FBI, Secret Service, the police department in Los Angeles and in D.C., we work through the night, executing search warrants on a couple of different locations and also on devices to try to continue to investigate, it’s been about 12 hours or so since the incident happened. And what we believe happened at least as of now, is the suspect traveled by train from Los Angeles to Chicago and then Chicago to Washington, D.C., where he checked into the hotel where the correspondents’ dinner was at , in the last day or two. We believe that the two firearms he had on him, that he had purchased within the last couple of years, and we are still investigating motive, and that is something that will take a couple of days, at least. We believe that he was targeting administration officials in this attempted attack, but that is again, quite preliminary as law enforcement continues to go through all of the evidence. I was on the phone with director patel after 1:00 in the morning, the FBI agents, on both coasts were up all night and will continue doing their work. Prosecutors were up all night working, so, it’s a tragic, horrible event that happened. On the other hand, it really shows the best and brightest are keeping us safe and the work that they do is great."
