President Donald Trump has explained why he fell to the ground while being evacuated during the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting. Trump made the remarks during a conversation with CBS News' Norah O'Donnell on 60 Minutes.
Trump was seen falling to the ground as Secret Service agents whisked him away from the dais after shots rang out. Agents were seen quickly pulling him back on his feet before hurrying him away from the scene in the ballroom of the Washington Hilton in D.C.
"I started walking, and they said, 'Please go down, please go down on the floor,'" Trump recounted. "So I went down, and the first lady went down also."
Trump also explained why JD Vance was evacuated more quickly than himself after the shooting broke out.
Cole Tomas Allen, 31, faces charges of two counts of using a firearm during a crime of violence and one count of assault on an officer using a dangerous weapon after breaching security at the Washington Hilton.
