A Trump administration official was allegedly assaulted inside the United Nations on Thursday afternoon during the gathering of the UN General Assembly. According to White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly, the official, working in international relations for the Department of Health and Human Services was in New York City serving in a support role for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the department’s leadership team at UNGA, when he was followed into the bathroom. Therafter, a “deranged leftist” physically assaulted and verbally accosted him. “An HHS official was followed into a bathroom, recorded, physically assaulted and verbally accosted by a deranged leftist at the UN who somehow entered the venue past multiple layers of security,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital. “Thankfully, the official is safe, and the lunatic was arrested, but this is part of a disturbing and dangerous set of failures by the UN after their sabotage of President Trump ahead of and during his speech.” Kelly told Fox News Digital that the US Secret Service will investigate “how this violent protester was admitted into a major national security event.” Responding to the allegations, a UN spokesperson reportedly told the portal that the attack must be addressed swiftly, and consequences must be felt.

The US president first faced an awkward moment when the escalator stopped with him and First Lady Melania Trump on it. During his speech later, his teleprompter went blank after which he warned the operator of “big trouble.” “These are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter,” Trump remarked during his address. He also spent a considerable amount of time preaching about his policies at home, saying the US is living through a golden age and going on to repeat the claim that he has ended seven wars during his tenure as the president. “The US is the hottest country anywhere in the world, and there is no other country even close,” he remarked. Later, Trump lashed out at the UN on his Truth Social platform, saying, “A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN.” Get Latest News Live on Times Now along with Breaking News and Top Headlines from US News and around the World.
