President Donald Trump said Wednesday that while he did go down to the White House bunker last Friday, he did so before protests hit peak intensity, and then only for a “short inspection,” not to take refuge.

Trump told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade’s radio show on Wednesday that multiple media reports characterizing the president’s descent into the bunker as driven by fear for his personal safety were inaccurate.
