President Trump was fired Monday night by a press release by a Secret Service agent when shots were fired outside the White House. When Mr. Trump returned a few minutes later, he said the Secret Service had fired shots at a suspect who was armed, and a person was taken to the hospital.
Mr. Trump said the shooting happened outside of the holidays. He said he was taken to the Oval Office. “It might have had nothing to do with me, it might have been something else,” he said.
The president said further information should come from the Secret Service.

Lawmakers are crawling around the White House, according to CBS News reporters on the ground.
The briefing should come after signing executive measures aimed at tackling the economic fallout from coronavirus, but that could prevent challenges in court.
The president on Sunday outlined the measures he claimed would stop evictions and expand unemployment benefits, among other things, but there are some hurdles. The executive action designed to stop outages does nothing to stop outages specifically. And the extended benefits for unemployment, an additional $ 400 per week, would only come in if states buy $ 100. The president’s attempt to defer payroll taxes, which he would only earn if these taxes were owed instead of canceling them, has not even received a warm reception from his own party.
Before taking office, Mr. Trump based former President Obama on deploying executive action to realize his agenda when he was president.
“Why is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are important grips of authority? “Mr. Trump tweeted in July 2012.
Mr. Trump emphasizes that he does not need Congress to pass these dollars, although not only in his own party does he agree. The president fired Republican Senator Ben Sasse for calling his executive actions an “unconstitutional slump.”
“RINO Ben Sasse, who needed my support and distinction to get the Republican nomination for the GREAT State of Nebraska House of Representatives has, now that he has it (Thank you, President T), become rogue again. This folly is playing into the hands of the Radical Left, “Mr Trump tweeted Monday morning.
