A White House pool member was heard on an MSNBC hot mic saying that he was assaulted while entering the Oval Office, adding that "shit was nuts!"
The individual was part of the press pool covering President Donald Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-In. Moon is in the United States for a meeting with Trump on topics including trade and North Korea.
After statements from the two leaders, the press pool was ushered out of the Oval Office, but one cameraman left his microphone on, with the resultant video broadcast live on MSNBC.
One person could be heard complaining about some past event.
"Literally, shit was nuts!" one speaker could be heard saying.
"I've never seen, like that—," said the other.
"This guy was assaulting me on the way in!" the first speaker said.
"I know, I got shoved—" said the other, before the feed cut off.
MSNBC's Peter Alexander looked amused as the camera cut to him, saying he was not sure what the voices were talking about.
One reporter tweeted the person was referring to an aggressive South Korean photographer in the scrum.
"That shit was nuts," says a member of the US pool. "That guy was assaulting me," says another referring to S. Korea photog. https://t.co/PWXbN7iE0T
