Shortly after a gunman stormed the Washington Hilton Hotel, where the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner was hosted, Fox News reporter Aishah Hasnie conducted a phone interview with Fox News detailing her account of events that occurred moments before the intruder attempted to enter the event.

In the interview, Hasnie stated, “I just want to quickly tell you I was sitting next to Karoline Leavitt’s husband, he was one of our guests, he was sitting right next to me, and right as the dinner was starting, the National Anthem happened, and then he kind of leaned over and said “I watch you on T.V. you do a great job, and you need to be very safe.””

Hasnie added, “And he was very serious when he said that to me. And he kind of looked around the room and said, “You know, there are some…”” but then her phone suddenly cut off.

The Fox News reporter then responded to the call being dropped by stating, “Sounds like we lost Aisha’s phone there. This happens, by the way, when you have so many people attempting to utilize the same cell service at the same time.”

Hasnie has since taken to X and explained why her call was dropped, stating, “Our calls were dropping because there is barely any service in that ballroom.”

She then finished the story that she was going to say before her phone interview cut off, sharing, “To finish the story, he was telling me to be careful with my own safety because the world is crazy. Which is what my own father and other people have also said to me recently.”

Per Aishah Hasnie:

Our calls were dropping, because there is barely any service in that ballroom. To finish the story, he was telling me to be careful with my own safety because the world is crazy. Which is what my own father and other people have also said to me recently. He was expressing his concern for my safety. I was going to say – before I lost my signal – that it was unfortunate that only a short time later, this all happened.

When we heard people shouting “get down”, he jumped into action and made sure myself and others at our table got on the ground. He was heroic in his actions and I will forever be grateful.
