Mother of man accused of trying to shoot Donald Trump says he will admit lesser charges

A 20-year-old British man accused of attempting to shoot Donald Trump at a Las Vegas casino will plead guilty to lesser charges when he appears in court, his mother has said.

Michael Sandford, of Dorking, Surrey, is due to stand trial later this month over an incident at a rally on June 18 in which he allegedly tried to grab a policeman's gun to attack the Republican presidential candidate.
