	Description:		On Saturday night, a gunman gained access to the ballroom where the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was being held and President Trump and top administration officials were present. MSNOW reporter Carol Leonnig explains whether there were holes in event security that night. Then, the Supreme Court is hearing a case about Monsanto's powerful weedkiller, Roundup, which has lost lawsuits from people who say the product’s ingredients caused their cancer. John Wesley Boyd Jr. from the National Black Farmers Association and Ben Riensche from Crop Life America weigh in from different sides of the issue. And, lawmakers are divided on extending Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act before it expires Thursday. Former intelligence analyst Javed Ali explains the provision, which allows intelligence agents to surveil terrorism suspects abroad without warrants, even though some information about Americans is captured in the process.
