It’s unclear what the agent said or why the president was escorted from the press briefing. Secret Service agents screen all the reporters ahead of the event and lock down the room before the president enters with agents standing at all its entry points.

Police could be seen outside the press briefing area, which sits in the West Wing of the White House.
