The attack that killed 14 in New Orleans comes at a difficult time for the FBI, as it finds itself buffeted by suspicion and public criticism from lawmakers, especially allies of President-elect Donald Trump.

According to an FBI update, the New Orleans attack suspect's rented vehicle was seen in Gonzales at around 9 p.m. on New Year's Eve.

The man responsible for the truck attack in New Orleans on New Year's Day that killed 14 people visited the city twice before and recorded video of the French Quarter with Meta smart glasses, an FBI official said Sunday.
