Mother of Briton held over Donald Trump 'shooting bid' asks to visit son

A British mother is asking a US judge to let her personally visit her son, who is jailed in Nevada after what authorities say was an attempt to shoot Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at a Las Vegas campaign rally.

Lawyers representing Michael Steven Sandford, 20, said he has "serious psychological problems" and has been on suicide watch in US federal custody at a facility about 50 miles west of Las Vegas.
