Karoline Leavitt demands UN probe if staff ‘deliberately’ stopped escalator for Trump

“If someone at the UN intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to be fired and investigated immediately,” Leavitt wrote on X, citing a Times of London report that staffers had been overheard joking that they may switch off the escalator and make Trump walk to the hall to give his speech.
