Mental competency hearing set for Ohio man accused of plotting to attack U.S. Capitol

A federal judge Tuesday set a competency hearing for an Ohio man charged with plotting to attack the U.S. Capitol in support of the Islamic State group. U.S. District Judge Sandra Beckwith in November ordered a mental evaluation of 21-year-old Christopher Lee Cornell to determine whether he is competent to stand trial after his attorneys said there was "reasonable cause" to question whether he suffers from a mental disease or defect. She scheduled the hearing for April 18.
