Trump says he "wasn't making it that easy" for Secret Service during shooting [View all]
President Donald Trump said he may have slowed the response of the United States Secret Service when shots rang out at the White House Correspondents Dinner last night.
Well, what happened is it was a little bit me. I wanted to see what was happening. And I wasnt making it that easy for him. I wanted to see what was going on, Trump said in a clip released ahead of his interview with CBS News 60 Minutes airing tonight.
I was surrounded by great people, and I probably made them act a little bit more slowly, he said, adding that he told the agents, Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let me see, wait a minute.
The president said as agents began escorting him away from the table, they asked him to get down on the floor.
