Reacting live on CSPAN, Michael Dubke — a former White House communications director — found out about the reports live on air and immediately informed the viewing audience.
“Just a second, we have an issue here at the head table of the White House Correspondents Dinner… It looks like the head table has been evacuated,” he said.
