President Trump evacuated after security incident at White House correspondents dinner

President Donald Trump has been evacuated after a security incident at the White House Correspondents Dinner, the Associated Press reports.

Secret Service and other authorities swarmed the banquet hall as guests ducked under tables by the hundreds.

“Out of the way, sir!” someone shouted. Others shouted at them to duck.

Trump was scheduled to attend the high-profile dinner for the first time as president after skipping the event last year and during his first term.

During the Correspondents’ Dinner, politicians and journalists come together on the last Saturday in April to celebrate the First Amendment and the role of a free press.
