We're returning to that incident at the Hilton Hotel in Washington last night, the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Donald Trump attending for the first time as president, but of course didn't get to deliver his remarks.

And there was much anticipation of what he might say because he sees the press generally, unless they're the friendly press like Fox, he sees them as the enemy.

Niall Stanage is an associate editor at The Hill.

He's covered US politics for decades and contributed to many media outlets.

And he's also had to suffer the sharp end of White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt's tongue.

He's on holiday in Ireland at the moment, but of course, like the rest of us, he's been monitoring events overnight in Washington.

Niall, good morning and welcome.

Morning, Pat.

How are you doing?

You might remind our listeners, first of all, how you raised the ire of Caroline Leavitt recently.

She called you a left-wing hack.

All right.

Now, what is your reaction to what happened last night?

Because I want to tell you already, monitoring what's going online, there is huge skepticism about what happened last night, whether or not it was indeed an attempted lethal attack on President Trump.

Now, when we look at the attempt on Trump's life where he had his ear clipped and much blood was seen, he immediately rose from behind the days and raised his fist, which became an iconic pre-election image.
