WHCD shooting: What the person closest to Trump saw

Mentalist Oz Pearlman found himself on the ground, face to face with President Donald Trump moments after shots were fired at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where he was performing.

Pearlman was performing a trick for Trump, the first lady and the press secretary when the chaos broke out, he said. At first, he thought it could have been a bomb threat, Pearlman told CNN’s Dana Bash.

Also, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) recounts the moment he heard the shots as he was having a conversation with Kerry Kennedy, daughter of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
