Trump Waited During WHCD Attack? Security Breakdown + Ballroom Debate Explodes - Apr 27 Hr 2

About this episode

The episode discusses the security breakdown during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and features insights from a former Secret Service member.

Why did it take nearly 30 seconds to move President Trump out of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner? Pags breaks down Trump’s own explanation — that he wanted to see what was happening — and why the White House says this proves the need for a secure White House ballroom. Then, former Secret Service member Darin Kinder joins to explain how security works at a massive hotel like the Washington Hilton, how a suspect could get through, and what those four layers of protection are supposed to stop.
