The 78-second window I clipped covers the WHCD shooting charging document. Three legal beats worth flagging: assassination charge requires intent + proximity, the pre-trial detention appeal already failed, and the indictment hasn't been unsealed publicly. That last one is what to watch.

Selected passage

Federal prosecutors formally charged the alleged gunman at the White House Correspondents' Dinner with attempting to assassinate the president.
