A British man has pleaded not guilty to charges that he tried to steal a police officer’s gun to shoot Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee. He had driven to Las Vegas from San Bernardino, California, that day specifically to shoot Trump, the report said. He responded “yes, I do” when US magistrate judge Cam Ferenbach asked whether he understood the nature of the charges against him. Another magistrate judge acknowledged during Sandford’s first court appearance on 20 June that his mental health may be an issue. Sandford stood wearing a yellow jail jumpsuit with his federal public defense attorneys during his brief arraignment.
