“A 31-year-old suspect in the shooting at the Washington, DC, media event, where President Donald Trump was present, is set to appear before court”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided for this claim is highly fragmented and mixes unrelated topics (film '31', Trump's family, and the state visit). While there are multiple web results mentioning a shooting at a DC event, none of the provided evidence explicitly confirms that a 31-year-old suspect is *set to appear before court* in relation to a shooting at a media event involving President Trump. The web results confirm the identification of a suspect (Cole Allen) in connection with the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, but the specific legal status ('set to appear before court') is not corroborated across multiple independent sources.

“The suspect has not been publicly identified yet, but is believed to be a man from California who traveled to Washington, DC”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results corroborate that the suspect was identified as a 31-year-old man from California who was involved in the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and that he was identified by name (Cole Allen) in some reports, but the general description of a California man who has not been publicly identified (in the context of the initial reports) is supported by the cluster of search results.

“Tech titans Elon Musk and Sam Altman are set to face off in court Monday in a case centered on OpenAI's transition to a firm that prioritizes making money over public service.”
