A National Guard member died on Thursday after being shot near the White House in an ambush that investigators say was carried out by an Afghan national, an attack President Donald Trump blamed on Biden-era immigration vetting failures as he ordered a sweeping review of asylum cases.

Two West Virginia National Guard members who deployed to the U.S. capital have been shot blocks from the White House in a brazen act of violence that the mayor characterized as a targeted attack.

President Trump said the suspected shooter came to the U.S. from Afghanistan in 2021. The administration plans to send 500 more Guard personnel to the nation's capital in response to the attack.

In a press conference on Thanksgiving Day, U.S. officials identified the National Guard members who were shot with abrupt close-range gunfire in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.

A shooting just blocks from the White House—one of the most secure locations on the planet—reinforces a grim message: there is no place in the world free from terrorism

United States President Donald Trump said on Tuesday, November 11, that he has an “obligation” to sue British media broadcaster BBC for misrepresenting his comments ahead of the January 6, 2021 attacks on the US Capitol.

The Senate homeland security committee's chair has asked researchers to turn over troves of documents related to the January 6 attack, vaccines, and more, according to a letter reviewed by WIRED.

“I was part of the first ever team of former television journalists brought in by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol to produce the historic live hearings laying out the committee's evidence to the country,” Melinda Arons, a former Nightline senior producer, wrote on her LinkedIn page.
