- During the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, mentalist Oz Pearlman and President Donald Trump briefly crouched together on the floor after a shooting incident caused chaos.

- “We just look at each other for about two seconds, and my mind, obviously, this is like a huge adrenaline [rush], is just like, ‘Oh no, are we about to die?’” he remembers thinking.
