A routine press conference held by President Donald Trump came to a sudden and dramatic halt on Friday due to an unexpected medical emergency in the Oval Office.
The event, which was nearing its conclusion, was abruptly cut off mid-broadcast, leaving viewers staring at a black screen. Moments earlier, Trump had been addressing concerns about national security and Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
What Happened
According to reports from FOX News and Mirror US, a person collapsed inside the Oval Office during the event. Dr. Mehmet Oz, who had just been sworn in as the new head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), was standing beside Trump when the incident occurred. The press conference ended suddenly as White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stepped in to conclude the briefing and instructed reporters to leave the room immediately.
Witnesses noted that Lisa Oz, Dr. Oz’s wife, appeared visibly distressed. President Trump briefly stepped away from the podium, reportedly to assess the situation, while Dr. Oz rushed to provide assistance. A later video clip appeared to show a young girl being helped out of the Oval Office, leading many to speculate that the emergency may have involved a member of Dr. Oz’s family.
Still No Official Word
So far, the White House has not released an official statement confirming the details of the incident or the identity of the individual involved. FOX News hosts noted that the press was quickly escorted out, and no further updates were immediately made available.
The unexpected and unsettling interruption left viewers and journalists with more questions than answers. As of now, the medical emergency appears to have prompted a full cancellation of the remainder of the event
