The White House daily briefing was interrupted Tuesday when reporters and staff were evacuated by the U.S. Secret Service during the televised question-and-answer session due to a bomb threat made over the telephone, authorities said.
Reporters present at the event said they were taken out of the basement-level James S. Brady press briefing room at the West Wing at about 2:10 p.m. and led across the street to the South Court auditorium in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Press secretary Josh Earnest and his aides went into another section of the building, reporters said.
