There were cries of stay down and get down.

This is how Carl Nasman of BBC TV reported the events immediately afterwards.

Minutes later, Catriona Perry, who presents and reports for the BBC in Washington, spoke on her phone about what she'd seen at the event.

Also with Mr Trump was the US Vice President J.D.

Vance, the Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the FBI Director Kash Patel and other members of the President's Cabinet.

As we record this podcast, President Trump is giving a press briefing at the White House.

Here's what he told us.

Men charged a security checkpoint armed with multiple weapons.

And he was taken down by some very brave members of Secret Service, and they acted very quickly and have just released, for purposes of transparency, clarity,

I've ordered it to be put out.

You probably have it by now.

Put out on Truth and put out on many other platforms.

A tape showing the violence of this thug that attacked our Constitution and also showing how quickly Secret Service and law enforcement acted on our country's behalf.

Really did a great job.

One officer was shot but saved by the fact that he was wearing, obviously, a very good bulletproof vest.

He was shot from very close distance with a very powerful gun.

And the vest did the job.

I just spoke to the officer, and he's doing great.

He's in great shape.

President Trump.
