Secret Service agents rushed President Donald Trump to a White House bunker on Friday night as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the executive mansion, some of them throwing rocks and tugging at police barricades.

Trump spent nearly an hour in the bunker, which was designed for use in emergencies like terrorist attacks, according to a Republican close to the White House who was not authorized to publicly discuss private matters and spoke on condition of anonymity. The account was confirmed by an administration official who also on condition of anonymity.

The abrupt decision by the agents underscored the rattled mood inside the White House, where the chants from protesters in Lafayette Park could be heard all weekend and Secret Service agents and law enforcement officers struggled to contain the crowds.

Mittens?

... according to a Republican close to the White House who was not authorized to publicly discuss private matters and spoke on condition of anonymity. The account was confirmed by an administration official who also on condition of anonymity.

Oh. OK. Sounds totally legit.

[pepsionice]

Fake news.

[ConservativeInPA]

I refuse to believe stories with anonymous sources. Time is utter trash anyway. I see no reason why Trump would be rushed into a bunker. The White House has the world’s best security. No one is getting beyond the fence since the secret service 100% is aware of what is going on.

[mumblypeg]

As accurately reported by Time magazine.
LOL.

[kingpins10]

Yeah, ok.

“Report”:
How the media signifies it is lying...

FAKE NEWS

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

The abrupt decision by the agents underscored the rattled mood inside..

So they can jump on social Media to call the President a coward.

[SmokingJoe]

Fake news AP from fake anonymous sources.
So how come President Trump was out in the White House lawn, giving a press conference before getting on Marine One to go board Air Firce One to go for the SpaceX launch?
And did that Twice on two separate days?

[plushaye]

Sure...

Security people were so worried that they let Potus return to the WH on Saturday by Marine 1 from Florida. They could have insisted he stay safe in FL for at least a day or two, and moved the family to the bunker or down to FL as well. But they didn’t.

[GnuThere]

Or Linda.

[nutmeg]

I agree. The minute I saw Time birdcage liner was the source, all credibility evaporated.

[funfan]

What would be the purpose to release a story like this do you think?

[cranked]

The utter and idiotic reliance and use of ‘anonymous sources’ has long been getting old. Piss poor journalism/reporting, piss poor; absolutely horrid.

[Repeal 16-17]

I’ll believe it if President Trump said it happened. “[A] Republican close to the White House” could simply mean “we’re making this up.”

[norcal joe]

And the practice of adding “who isn’t authorized to speak about this” to try to make it somehow seem more official and factual... Ridiculous.
