Trump to hold press conference at the White House after shooting cancels annual press dinner
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump says he will deliver a press conference from the White House in half an hour, after shots were fired inside the hotel building hosting the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, forcing the event to be evacuated.
“Law Enforcement has requested that we leave the premises, consistent with protocol, which we will do, immediately,” he writes on Truth Social after initially expressing hope that the dinner would be able to resume once the suspect was apprehended.
“The First Lady, plus the Vice President, and all Cabinet members, are in perfect condition,” Trump says.
He adds that the annual press dinner will be rescheduled within the next 30 days.
