00:00For the U.S. Attorney, this was initially classified by the FBI as a terrorism investigation.
00:09Is the hate crime charge a terrorism charge, or did something change in the charging decision?
00:15So the question is for the U.S. Attorney's Office about the fact that yesterday terrorism was mentioned,
00:20and we see a hate crime charge today, and can we explain that?
00:24So we've moved swiftly to charge quickly just to send the message to the community
00:30that no acts of anti-Semitism are going to be tolerated and there are severe consequences.
00:35Just because there's only one charge that has been made so far
00:39doesn't mean that we're not considering other charges that could come in the future.
