Sean Hannity is calling on folks to tone down their rhetoric about President Trump in the wake of the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner ... he says there are a lot of unstable people out there who are influenced by all the negative labels getting attached to Trump's name.
We got the Fox News personality in New York City and our photog managed to ask him a couple questions about the shooting.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries isn't ready to weigh in on a joke Jimmy Kimmel made that triggered an angry First Family demand ... but he has an opinion about toxic talk, and he's not sparing the left.
Jacob got the House Minority Leader Monday on Capitol Hill ... turns out Jeffries hadn't heard Kimmel's joke last Thursday, in which he called Melania Trump an "expectant widow."
It prompted the First Lady and the Prez to call on ABC to fire Kimmel's ass. The comment was made 2 days before the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The feds say the man charged with attempting to assassinate PresidentTrumpat the White House Correspondents' Dinner sent his manifesto to family and friends moments before he burst through a security checkpoint armed with a shotgun and pistol ... and it looks like he had a lot to say.
In the criminal complaint, obtained by TMZ, the feds include a large portion ofwhat they say is Cole Allen's manifesto ... and it looks like he scheduled the note to be sent right before he allegedly made his move.
The email starts off by apologizing and explaining a possible motive ... "I am a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me. And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."
Trump erupted on Truth Social on Monday ... calling Kimmel "in no way funny" and taking a swipe at his "terrible Television Ratings" before blasting the comic for airing what he described as a "fake video" of Melania and Barron during his monologue.
Trump was referring to Kimmel's White House Correspondents' Dinner parody, where the host joked, "Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow."
The president argued the joke took on a much darker meaning after authorities say an armed suspect tried to storm the actual White House Correspondents' Dinner just two days later.
FBI Director Kash Patel,Acting Attorney General ToddBlancheand U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro spoke Monday afternoon about the man accused of opening fire during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and how he moved in the hours leading up to the terrifying attack Saturday night.
The officials gave an official breakdown of the timeline leading up to the black-tie event … stating Cole Allen -- a 31-year-old part-time teacher from Torrance, California -- initially made his hotel reservation on April 6, booking a three-night stay for April 24-26.
He departed Los Angeles by train last Tuesday and made a stop in Chicago on Thursday. The next day, he arrived in D.C. and checked into the Washington Hilton Friday afternoon, the officials said.
The press conference was held shortly after Allen was arraigned on three charges in D.C. federal court -- attempting to assassinate the president, transporting a firearm and ammunition with intent to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. He did not enter a plea.
Karoline Leavittis widening her war with Trump critics ... arguing it's not just Jimmy Kimmel's jokes that are dangerous, but what she calls years of inflammatory rhetoric from Democrats and media figures that inspires violence against President Donald Trump.
During a fiery briefing Monday, the White House press secretary was asked about Kimmel's "expectant widow" joke about First Lady MelaniaTrump ... and whether rhetoric surrounding Trump has become normalized.
Instead of focusing solely on Kimmel, Leavitt zoomed out ... saying the entire political climate has become toxic and blaming critics who repeatedly label Trump a threat to democracy.
Kash Patel is already taking a bit of a victory lap, saying he and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche will break down exactly how alleged gunman Cole Allen slipped past security at the WH Correspondents' Dinner … with more answers coming later today.
Patel went on FOX News Channel's "Fox & Friends" Monday morning promising "actual details" during a press conference later today -- including how the suspect slipped through undetected at the Washington Hilton -- noting they have a ton of details less than 36 hours after the shooting.
Blanche has said Allen checked into the hotel as a guest at least a day before the dinner.
Patel says agents have run "dozens and dozens" of interviews to piece together everything ... who the guy is, how he got in, the firearms he used, and everything in between.
Two newly surfaced photos are pulling back the curtain on the chaos outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner ... revealing the weapon authorities say accused gunman ColeAllen brought to the D.C. Hilton Saturday night ... and showing the suspect wrapped in a Mylar blanket moments before bullets started flying.
CNN obtained the photos … showing what appears to be a black tactical-style long gun laid out on a carpeted floor ... one of the weapons authorities say Allen brought with him to the hotel. Investigators claim he was also armed with a .38-caliber semiautomatic pistol and a 12-gauge shotgun.
A second photo shows Allen shirtless and wrapped in an emergency-style Mylar blanket after his arrest ... officers had removed his clothes while searching him for additional weapons and checking for injuries.
President Trump got hot under the collar during his "60 Minutes" interview with Norah O'Donnellthat aired Sunday night, slamming her for bringing up Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile ways in connection with the White House Correspondents' Dinner alleged gunman, Cole Allen.

Melania's hive is a miniature version of the White House ... it's crafted by a local artisan and it's home to a pair of bee colonies. The White House says the new hives are expected to increase annual honey production at the White House by an estimated 30 pounds.
Kash Patel is lashing out at what he calls the "fake news mafia" after a report alleged he has an alcohol abuse problem.
The FBI director took some pointed shots at the media Tuesday after filing a $250 million defamation lawsuit on Monday following an unflattering article about him in The Atlantic magazine.
Patel denied reports he shows up to work drunk or sometimes doesn't show up at all ... claiming he is working more days than his predecessors.
