Rumors about President Donald Trump's health began circulating after the White House declared a press 'lid' on Saturday morning at 11:08 a.m.
Speculation spread that Trump had been rushed to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after a medical emergency, but a viral video claiming to show Trump being taken to the hospital was actually from 2024, when he was released from a hospital in Butler, Pennsylvania, after being shot.
CBS News journalist Emma Nicholson shared a photo showing a Marine sentry at the West Wing entrance, indicating that 'the president is working inside.'
Guardian White House correspondent Hugo Lowell confirmed on X that the White House called a travel/photo lid at 11 a.m. ET, meaning they do not expect to see the president for the rest of the day.
Trump spokesman Steven Cheung denied rumors that POTUS was taken to Walter Reed hospital, stating that Trump has been working nonstop in the White House and Oval Office over the Easter weekend.
