Former President Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NewsNation on Thursday, telling the reporter that his security didn’t want him standing in that location because it was a safety risk.

The assassination attempt on Trump’s life is still being scrutinized as a security failure and on Wednesday, authorities announced a manhunt in Arizona for a man who allegedly threatened the former president’s life. Trump was in Arizona on Thursday to speak about immigration at the southern border.

While speaking to Ali Bradley, a NewsNation reporter, Trump suddenly stopped and told her, “we’re in danger standing here talking.”

“[Security] doesn’t want me standing here. They don’t want you standing here either,” Trump said.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
