US Attorney Pirro says she has evidence officer was shot during White House correspondents dinner

 


May 3 (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said on Sunday that the government has evidence that a federal agent was shot during an alleged attempt to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner last weekend.

“We now can establish that a pellet that came from the buckshot from the defendant's Mossberg pump-action shotgun was intertwined with the fiber of the vest of the Secret Service officer,” Pirro said during an appearance on CNN.
