Key Facts
Trump told reporters he had not seen the viral video that surfaced Monday and showed what appeared to be plastic bags being thrown out a White House window, sparking speculation about exactly what was going on.
Trump also alleged the video was “probably AI generated” and said “you can’t open the windows… they’re all heavily armored and bullet-proof.”
The White House told Time on Tuesday the objects were thrown by “a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the President was gone.”
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy showed Trump the video but the president insisted the windows were sealed, again claiming the video was generated by artificial intelligence.
“If something happens really bad just blame AI,” Trump added.
Forbes has reached out to the White House for comment.
