President Donald Trump was evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner following a security incident.
It was not immediately clear what occurred; however, event attendees who spoke to CSPAN said there were loud “booms” and a “commotion” in the room before the president was evacuated.
Groups of protesters had gathered around the Washington Hilton Hotel before Trump’s arrival.
CBS senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang took the stage shortly after the incident to say the night’s programming would continue.
