In an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” aired last night, President Donald Trump discussed this weekend’s shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC, writes CNN.

Trump detailed how he and first lady Melania Trump realized the seriousness of the situation during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, describing how the atmosphere began to shift. He said that despite the suspected gunman’s quick movements through the hotel hallway, law enforcement also reacted quickly. Trump also said that First Lady Melania “handled it great” when shots were fired at the event.

The President said he may have slowed the response of the United States Secret Service when shots rang out at the dinner, because he “wanted to see what was happening”.

Trump said that he “wasn’t worried” there would be injuries after the sound of gunfire rang out at the Washington Hilton. The US leader said he does not believe political violence in his country is worse now than in the past, while also arguing that Democratic rhetoric is contributing to a dangerous environment.

He called for the interrupted White House Correspondents’ Dinner to be rescheduled within 30 days and include more security. The President also accused members of the press of being “almost one in the same” with the Democratic Party when asked whether the shooting would change his relationship with the media.
