White House Confirms Contractor Throws Objects During Maintenance

A viral video showing objects being tossed out of a second-floor White House window sparked widespread speculation and jokes about security and the President's whereabouts. The White House clarified that the footage depicts a contractor performing routine maintenance while President Trump was away at his golf club. The video shows a figure stepping onto a windowsill and throwing down various items, including a black plastic bag and a long white object, from the President’s private residence area. Despite the official explanation, questions remain about security protocols, as opening White House windows is generally prohibited. The incident occurred amid rumors about President Trump's health and absence from public view, which he later dispelled with a public appearance and upcoming announcement. The White House has not addressed concerns about the security implications raised by the video.
