White House: Secret Service Launches Investigation Amid Reports UN Staffers Intentionally Stopped Escalator as Trump and First Lady Were Stepping On in Major Security Breach

The White House on Tuesday afternoon demanded an investigation amid reports UN staffers intentionally stopped the escalator as President Trump and First Lady Melania were stepping on in a major security breach.
“If someone at the UN intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to be fired and investigated immediately,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said along with a report that UN staffers may turn off the escalators to make Trump walk up the stairs.

President Trump returned to the United Nations General Assembly stage in New York City for a major address to the General Assembly on Tuesday.
The President and First Lady Melania Trump arrived at approximately 8:50 am.
As TGP reported earlier, First Lady Melania and President Trump walked through the building and stepped on an escalator that was surrounded by people. There were two escalators going up to the next floor. Melania Trump stepped on the escalator on the left followed by President Trump. As soon as President Trump stepped on the escalator it came to a halt. However, the escalator on the right continued to operate.
Melania reacted quickly and started walking up the escalator stairs followed by President Trump and his entourage.
This is insane…

Secret Service sources told RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree that it is very concerning that President Trump was “stalled and vulnerable.”
“Sources in the Secret Service community are very concerned about what they witnessed from fellow agents today when President Trump was stalled and vulnerable. It’s a similar critique to the Secret Service’s delayed response in getting Trump off stage after a bullet grazed his ear on July 13,” Susan Crabtree said.
Why did the @SecretService allow Pres. Trump and Melania to get stalled on an escalator today at the @UN General Assembly before his speech without moving quickly to protect the leader of the free world and his wife?

Karoline Leavitt said the Secret Service is investigating the escalator situation.
“If we find that these were UN staffers who were purposefully trying to trip up President Trump and FLOTUS well, there better be accountability for those people,” she said.

Mainstream Media in Disbelief as Trump DOUBLES Expected Jobs Numbers – President Trump Takes Victory Lap After Adding 130,000 Jobs to US Economy

US jobs numbers for February far exceeded expectations to start 2026.
President Trump doubled expectations adding 130,000 jobs when only 55,000 was expected.
The unemployment rate also decreased from 4.4% to 4.3% according to CNBC
President Trump: Just in: GREAT JOBS NUMBERS, FAR GREATER THAN EXPECTED! The United States of America should be paying MUCH LESS on its Borrowings (BONDS!). We are again the strongest Country in the World, and should therefore be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE, by far. This would be an INTEREST COST SAVINGS OF AT LEAST ONE TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR – BALANCED BUDGET, PLUS. WOW! The Golden Age of America is upon us!!! President DJT
From the president’s Truth Social account:

At what point can the American people sue the Federal Reserve Chief for his dereliction of duty? Jerome Powell is now costing every American untold amounts of money by refusing to do his job!
CNBC host Rick Santelli reacted positively:

Democrat Rep. Nadler Has to be Woken Up by Staffer During Bondi Hearing (VIDEO)

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) had to be woken up by a staffer on Wednesday morning during a congressional hearing.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi testified at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Epstein files, fatal shootings of two anti-ICE agitators and more.
Nadler fell asleep just minutes into Wednesday’s hearing.
A staffer walked over to Nadler and woke him up.
WATCH:
Later on during the hearing, Nadler and Bondi got into a shouting match over Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators.
“How many [co-conspirators] have you indicted?” Nadler asked Bondi.
“Excuse me! I’m going to answer!” Bondi said.
“Answer my question!” Nadler demanded.
“I’m gonna answer the question the way I want to answer the question. Your theatrics are ridiculous,” Bondi said.
“Chairman Jordan, I’m not gonna get into the gutter with these people,” Bondi said.
Bondi and Nadler continued to talk over each other until Chairman Jim Jordan intervened.

According to the Tumbler Ridge Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left nine dead and at least 25 more injured.
According to police, the sole suspect, described as a “gunperson’ wearing a dress, was found dead inside the school from “a self-inflicted injury.”
Per CNN:
Police found six people dead and dozens injured when they arrived at the high school in Tumbler Ridge, a town of just 2,400 people in northeast British Columbia, early on Tuesday afternoon. Another person died en route to hospital, police said.
The alleged shooter, who was found dead at the school with a self-inflicted injury, is believed to have killed two more people, whose bodies were discovered at a home in the township
Two victims were airlifted from the school to hospital with serious or life-threatening injuries. And about 25 other people were also being treated at a local medical center, police said.

Fox News reported that Superintendent Ken Floyd, North District Commander, said in a statement, “This was a rapidly evolving and dynamic situation, and the swift cooperation from the school, first responders, and the community played a critical role in our response.”
“Our thoughts are with the families, loved ones, and all those impacted by this tragic incident. This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional day for our community, and we are grateful for the cooperation shown as officers continue their work to advance the investigation.”
Juno News, an independent outlet in Canada, claims to have spoken with someone connected to the suspected shooter’s family who says the suspect was trans and used “she/her” pronouns, but authorities have not confirmed the claim.
The Guardian reported that the police have identified the shooter, but didn’t publicly release their identity due to the integrity of the investigation.
The shooter’s identity, any potential connections to groups, and motivations remain under investigation.
