US President Donald Trump has said the First Lady, Vice President and all Cabinet members are “in perfect condition” after an incident that prompted changes to a scheduled event.
Trump said he had been asked to leave the premises of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, adding that the event will be rescheduled. “I have spoken with all the representatives in charge of the event, and we will be rescheduling within 30 days,” he said, noting that he would address the media shortly.
The president also said a law enforcement officer was shot at close range but survived due to wearing a bulletproof vest. “He was shot from very close distance with a very powerful gun, and the vest did the job,” Trump said.
He added that he had spoken directly with the injuries officer, who is recovering well. “He’s doing great. He’s in great shape. He is in very high spirits, and we told him we love him and respect him,” Trump said.
