It was during a meeting in 2020 that Trump is said to have seen red when he heard that someone close to him had leaked security information about him and his family.
– Those who are behind this should be convicted of treason and executed, Trump is said to have told the assembly.
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is said to have tried to reassure Trump as he assured the then president that they would get to the bottom of the matter, writes CNN.
The Trump family evacuated
The information that was leaked is about an incident in June 2020 when Donald Trump, his wife Melania and their son Barron had to evacuate the White House and seek refuge in the bunkers belonging to the building. The reason is said to be the protests and unrest in the city in the wake of the murder of George Floyd.
A few days after the incident, Trump is said to have called for a meeting with his advisers, defense leaders and police in the West Wing of the White House.
“It boiled over for Trump as soon as he learned that the incident had been made public. Those present had obviously never seen Trump so angry, “writes Wall Street Journal journalist Michael Bender in the book” Frankly, we did win this election: The inside story of how Trump lost. “

“Declared red”
When the incident took place, it was reported that Trump and his family had been transported by the Secret Service to an underground bunker where they stayed for a little over an hour, before being taken out again. Sources close to the White House reported that “the security situation in the White House was declared red and the president was transported to safety,” writes CNN.
Trump allegedly tried to calm down the situation in a radio interview done days after the incident took place, and said that the trip to the bunkers was in connection with an inspection.
