White House Press Briefing Halted After Child Faints

A White House press briefing following Dr. Mehmet Oz’s swearing-in as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services was abruptly halted when Dr. Oz’s 11-year-old granddaughter fainted in the Oval Office. White House aides quickly cleared the room of reporters and photographers, instructing 'no photos' as President Trump checked on the girl. The incident occurred just as Trump was addressing questions about Iran’s nuclear program, expressing a firm stance against Iran acquiring nuclear weapons. The White House later confirmed the child was unharmed. Dr. Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon and former TV host, was sworn in by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and is now leading the largest agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, overseeing Medicare and Medicaid for over 160 million Americans.
