Description:

Donald Trump’s dislike of the press has seen him repeatedly refuse to attend the annual White House correspondent’s dinner in Washington DC.

But this year he’d taken his seat not long before a 31 year old tried to burst into the function room armed with guns and knives. 

The US president has described the suspect as ‘sick’.

Today, we speak with Missy Ryan, staff writer at The Atlantic magazine, who was in the room when the chaos began.
