UPDATE: During the press conference, a reporter noted, “There’s a video circulating online now of White House where a window is open to the residence upstairs and somebody is throwing a big bag out the window.”
Trump quickly dismissed the claim, responding, “That’s probably AI-generated. You can’t open the windows — they’re all heavily armored and bulletproof.”
PREVIOUS UPDATES:
Mystery items were recently tossed from a White House window in a bizarre scene caught on video.
The video footage, which began circulating widely on social media over the weekend, shows an individual repeatedly hurling items from a top-floor window to the ground below.
According to a White House official, the culprit was a contractor performing routine maintenance while President Trump was away, NY Post reported.
It was not immediately clear what the objects were or why they were tossed from the window.
“Why is someone throwing objects out the damn window at the White House? This makes zero sense under any normal circumstances. The media needs to get answers, even if just from a security perspective. What the hell is the Secret Service doing?” a user wrote on X.
