What was said
"A guy known to be threatening the White House, who would be in the vicinity quite frequently, who had schizophrenia, who was threatening the White House, who failed to appear at a court appearance— there was no effort by Pirro and the Trump regime to try to find this guy."
Nasir Best, the 21-year-old shooter killed near the White House on Saturday, had been prosecuted multiple times in 2025 by Trump's U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office for threatening the White House. Best failed to appear at an August 2025 court hearing and violated stay-away orders, yet the Trump administration made no effort to locate him despite deploying massive resources to track down undocumented immigrants. Trump immediately used the shooting to justify his controversial Golden Ballroom construction.
