A video from the White House Correspondents' Association dinner has surfaced, showing the exact moment when US President Donald Trump was rushed out after a loud, unidentified noise was heard.
First Lady Melania Trump and other members of the Trump administration present at the dinner were also evacuated after a sudden commotion and loud noise erupted near the hotel ballroom where the event was underway.
Panic erupted inside the Washington Hilton banquet hall as Secret Service agents and other authorities rushed in amid shouts to get down. There were around 2,600 attendees at the annual dinner, many of whom could be seen taking cover under the tables at the dining hall after the security incident.
