(CNN) — President Donald Trump was swiftly escorted off the stage by Secret Service after possible shots were fired at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC, on Saturday.

Vice President JD Vance and several members of Trump’s Cabinet who were also in attendance were also rushed out.

A source told CNN that Trump is safe, while two sources said Vance is safely out of the dinner. According to an administration official, Cabinet members are OK as well.

Several US Secret Service agents yelled, “shots fired” during the event, which is being held at the Washington Hilton, according to pool reports.

Secret Service later said in a post on X that one person is in custody.

Trump took to the Truth Social to share that a “shooter has been apprehended” and applaud Secret Service and law enforcement officers for acting “quickly and bravely.”

In a subsequent post a few minutes later, the president said he is returning to the White House after law enforcement officials requested that he leave the location. Trump added that he will give a press conference momentarily.

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer was “a few feet away from (a gunman) as he was shooting,” he said on air.

“All the sudden a guy with a weapon, it was a very, very serious weapon, it starts shooting, and I happened to have been a few feet away from him as he was shooting,” Blitzer said.

“Ya nada se siente normal”: cómo los iraníes de a pie afrontan la guerra

Cuando las bombas empezaron a caer sobre Teherán en febrero, escuchamos mucho sobre las ramificaciones políticas, incluida la muerte del ayatola Alí Jamenei, líder supremo de Irán.

Pero, ¿qué pasa con la gente común que llama hogar a la capital?

Maryam Rahmanian, una fotoperiodista iraní-estadounidense que vive en Teherán, quiere contar sus historias.

Tomó retratos de civiles que decidieron quedarse en la ciudad, preguntándoles qué significaba la guerra para ellos y cómo ha afectado sus vidas.

“Algunas personas tuvieron que seguir trabajando. Algunas se quedaron en casa y soportaron las horas en la incertidumbre. Algunas se centraron en proteger a sus seres queridos. Otras intentaron aferrarse a una sensación de vida normal a medida que esa vida se volvía cada vez más frágil”, dijo Rahmanian, que trabaja en Teherán con el permiso del Gobierno.

“Estas historias no ofrecen un relato completo de la guerra. Ofrecen algo más acotado, pero no menos esencial: un registro de cómo la guerra es vivida, sobrellevada y recordada por quienes permanecen inmersos en ella”.

“Estaba en el trabajo alrededor de las 9:40 a.m. cuando escuché el sonido”, le dijo Salemeh a Rahmanian, al relatar cuándo comenzó la guerra. “Todos estaban muy asustados. Subimos a la azotea y vimos el humo”.

A todos les pidieron que se fueran a casa. Salemeh, gerente de recursos humanos, fue la última persona en irse.

“Cuando salí a la calle, el ambiente se sentía muy diferente”, dijo. “Las calles estaban extremadamente abarrotadas. Las madres lloraban. Un trayecto que normalmente me toma 40 minutos tardó casi tres horas.

“Lo que más me llamó la atención fueron los escolares: fue realmente una escena muy impactante. Se podía ver claramente el estrés y la ansiedad entre la gente”.

Las escenas traumáticas han cobrado un alto precio en la salud mental de Salemeh.

“Me sobresalto con cada ruido, preguntándome si algo ha sido alcanzado otra vez”, dijo. “Hay obras cerca de nuestra casa, e incluso esos sonidos constantes me provocan ansiedad”.

“Ahora entiendo de verdad lo que significa vivir con el miedo a la guerra en tu propio país. Nuestra rutina diaria ha cambiado, y nada se siente normal ya”.

La destrucción y la pérdida de la guerra le recuerdan a Akram cómo fue durante la guerra Irán-Iraq en la década de 1980.

“Se siente como si la historia se estuviera repitiendo frente a mis ojos”, le contó a Rahmanian. “Cuando veo edificios destruidos en Teherán, recuerdo Khorramshahr, donde calles enteras quedaron reducidas a escombros. En Narmak, un edificio fue alcanzado y solo un niño sobrevivió. Lo sacaron de debajo de los escombros, llorando y preguntando por su madre, que ya no estaba. Había visto escenas similares durante la guerra Irán-Iraq: niños que se quedaban solos después de perder a toda su familia”.

Una gran diferencia, por supuesto, es la tecnología. “Ahora recibimos noticias en cuestión de segundos en nuestros teléfonos, mientras que en el pasado la información se transmitía de persona a persona”, dijo. “Seguí las noticias constantemente, y creo que cuando no se anuncian por completo las cifras de víctimas, no es necesariamente para mentir, sino a veces para evitar el miedo y el pánico”.

“Creo que Israel y Estados Unidos han manipulado la situación, y estoy orgullosa de que hayamos plantado cara a una superpotencia y nos hayamos defendido. Para mí, es un honor mantenerme firme y decir que resistimos”.

Rezvaneh es instructora de lengua coreana. Recuerda haberse despertado temprano para una clase en línea cuando comenzó el bombardeo.

“Media hora antes de la sesión, el sonido de una potente explosión rompió la calma”, dijo. “Alcancé mi teléfono para informar a mi estudiante, pero el internet se cortó de repente. Poco después, mi alumno logró env

Family and friends hold vigil to mark one year since death of Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre

(CNN) — Family and friends of Virginia Giuffre, one of the best known accusers of Jeffrey Epstein, gathered on the National Mall in Washington on Saturday to celebrate her life and legacy on the one-year anniversary of her death and in the wake of the Justice Department’s release of millions of documents related to Epstein.

Giuffre, who died by suicide last April at her home near Perth, Australia, publicly alleged in 2019 that Epstein trafficked her and forced her to have sex with his friends, including former Prince Andrew, when she was as young as 17 years old.

Many attendees, including several survivors of Epstein’s abuse, donned butterfly pins, in honor of Giuffre.

“We wear your butterfly pins, knowing it’s a piece of you with us, providing us with the strength to keep moving forward, the true metamorphosis of transitioning from victim to survivor,” said Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, as his voice cracked with emotion. “You’re my hero and you’re a hero to the world.”

Epstein survivor Laura Blume McGee said Giuffre “paid the ultimate price.”

“As a survivor, Virginia’s bravery changed my life,” McGee said. “Her courage gave me permission to be visible and to demand accountability and to reclaim my voice. Because of her, I believe justice is possible and our voice can spark real lasting change.”

Giuffre’s memoir, “Nobody’s Girl,” was published six months after her death, and contains harrowing details of the abuse she said she suffered as a teenager. It also recounts her years attempting to get justice for herself and fellow victims.

“In my years with them, they lent me out to scores of wealthy, powerful people. I was habitually used and humiliated – and in some instances, choked, beaten, and bloodied,” Giuffre wrote of Epstein and his circle. “I believed that I might die a sex slave.”

A renewed push for transparency gained momentum last year after months of advocacy from survivors and lawmakers on Capitol Hill. The Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed last November with bipartisan support in Congress and was signed by President Donald Trump after months of resistance on the issue. It forced the Justice Department to release nearly 3 million pages of files related to the investigation into Epstein.

The release of the Epstein files, however, was met with criticism after attorneys for Epstein victims said the DOJ failed to redact identifying information in “thousands” of places and withheld the details of people who may have aided the convicted sex offender. Earlier this week, the Justice Department’s internal watchdog announced it is launching a review into the DOJ’s production of files and documents relating to the Epstein files, as survivors and members of Congress have accused the agency of botching the files’ release.

Giuffre’s publicist, Dini von Mueffling, reflected at the vigil Saturday on the strides made toward accountability and justice for Epstein survivors since Giuffre’s passing.

“Little did either of us know at the time we began our journey, what we would be able to accomplish, particularly in this last year since her passing,” von Mueffling said. “What a year. The milestones of it are too numerous to mention.”
