A federal judge in California on Wednesday ordered a mental exam for the wife of Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, and a prosecutor said she was asked by her husband which would inspire more outrage — an attack on a nightclub or an attack on a Disney complex.

Defense attorneys said Noor Salman, 30, who is charged with aiding and abetting her husband in the June 12 attack on Pulse nightclub that left 49 people dead, did not know about the attack ahead of time and portrayed her as a battered wife and a "special ed student."

The attack on the gay nightclub was the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history. Authorities said Mateen opened fire at the club early June 12 during an hours-long rampage and standoff before being killed in a shootout with police.
