Hey, it's Michael.
Before we get started, a few details about a major developing story that's still being pieced together.
The FBI is investigating what appears to be another attempted assassination of former President Trump, this time as he played golf at one of his clubs in West Palm beach on Sunday afternoon.
Trump, who was unharmed in the incident, was golfing at around 01:30 p.m.
when, according to law enforcement, Secret Service agents spotted an armed man hiding in the bushes surrounding the golf course.
Agents then fired at the man, who fled the scene in a car, but was later apprehended on a nearby highway.
It was not immediately clear if the suspect had fired any shots.
Police said they found a rifle with a scope near where the man was spotted, along with a camera and two backpacks.
A law enforcement official identified the suspect as 58 year old Ryan Wesley Routh of Hawaii.
Last year, Routh told the Times that he had recently traveled to Ukraine as a volunteer in the country's war against Russia.
These are the key facts that we know for now.
