CNN's law enforcement correspondent downplayed a
violent threat against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after an
armed California man was arrested outside Kavanaugh's home in Maryland, early Wednesday morning.

Wild’s initial report on CNN at 11 am EST wondered if the man "had a
weapon at all," and did not disclose the violent threat. Law enforcement
officials and other networks were already reporting the man was armed
with a knife and a gun and admitted to wanting to harm or kill the
Supreme Court Justice.
"We don't yet know what the nature of the
threat was. We don't know what language the threat was or what kind of
weapon this man might have had, if he had one at all, because the
information at this point is just so thin," Wild began, while the chyron
below her read, "Man with weapon detained near Justice Kavanaugh's
home."
The reporter went on to warn about political violence from "both sides" of the abortion debate, after the Supreme Court draft opinion poised to strike down Roe v. Wade was leaked to the media last month.
"This
certainly contributes to this overall threat with landscape we've been
talking a lot about," she stated. "This is an extremely passionate
issue. There are emotions on both sides. Federal officials have made
clear over and over they believe the risk truly comes from both sides of
this abortion debate."
"People are angry, they might seek to use
the abortion ruling as a justification to cause violence and that puts
the Supreme Court justices, their staff and other members of this
judiciary, especially the Supreme Court, at risk," the CNN reporter
concluded. Hours later, Wild updated her report to include that the man
was indeed armed with multiple weapons.
Nicholas John Roske, 26, of California, was later charged with attempted murder.
According to a criminal complaint and affidavit filed in federal court
in Maryland, Wednesday, Roske said he purchased the gun to kill
Kavanaugh and himself.
Roske told police he was upset at both the fate of Roe v. Wade and
attempts to loosen gun control laws after the Uvalde, Texas shooting.
Pro-choice activists have protested outside the home of conservative justices since the leak. Several groups revealed they still planned to protest outside Kavanaugh's home Wednesday night, despite the violent attempt hours earlier.
Several pro-life centers and churches have been targeted by pro-choice activists as well.
An abortion activist group calling themselves "Jane’s Revenge" has taken credit for several acts of violence, including alleged firebombings of a New York pro-life clinic this week, a Wisconsin pro-life group last month, and vandalism of Seattle-area and Washington D.C. crisis pregnancy centers.
President Donald Trump has an Achilles' heel when it comes to Russia. Over the years, he's made no secret that he has a soft spot for the country and its authoritarian leader, President Vladimir Putin. Trump has proved that he is willing to reject widely held US foreign policy views and align himself with the Kremlin on everything from Russian interference in US elections to the war in Syria. Most recently, Trump has denied the veracity of US intelligence reports accusing Russia of paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US troops in Afghanistan. Pressed on the topic during an interview with Axios that was released on Wednesday, Trump said he did not raise the issue during a recent phone call with Putin, and continued to suggest that the reports are "fake news." During the 2016 campaign, Trump's ties to Russians were so concerning that the FBI believed there was good reason to investigate potential collusion between his 2016 campaign an...
