President Trump was evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night following a security incident outside the ballroom of the Washington Hilton Hotel.
The evacuation occurred just after 8:30 p.m. ET following what sounded like loud bangs sent attendees scurrying. Mr. Trump and first lady Melania Trump were whisked off the stage by Secret Service agents.
Footage from the dinner also showed several security agents rushing through the crowd of tables, likely to remove other government officials in attendance. Men armed with rifles also appeared on the stage after Mr. Trump was evacuated.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
