Currently at the National Mall interviewing folks. The crowds are refusing to leave when ordered by Secret Service due to lightning concerns. At one point, there was a stampede towards the stage when the announcer came on asking them to leave again.

Chaos right now on the Washington Monument ground as the Secret Service tells everyone to leave, then someone says “mic check” on the stage and people rush back in.

Patriots have started chanting “USA USA” and are attempting to run back into the “Salute America” event as Secret Service and Park police attempt to evacuate everyone.

Multiple people have stated they don’t want to leave and chants keep breaking out.

A lot of people were not leaving when directed by staff and by the announcements on the loudspeaker.

The National Guard teams just now cleared the mall. Everything was gentle. Smooth. But it took the Nat. Guard’s presence to finally evacuate the mall area.
