Reporters were caught sharing some insights on a hot mic about former President Donald Trump being assassinated as they waited for the GOP leader to arrive at the federal courthouse in Washington last Tuesday.
Two unknown journalists set up their cameras in E. Barrett Prettyman US Courthouse when they began talking about how hard it is to get a good shot of the Republican frontrunner.
