The White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting was the topic of the "Closer Look" segment on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers. Meyers praised law enforcement and praised CNN's Wolf Blitzer for his reporting from the Washington Hilton bathroom, a situation Meyers described as his "actual nightmare". He also questioned President Donald Trump's use of the shooting to justify the still under construction White House ballroom. He questioned Trump's claim that the ballroom was "militarily top secret," which Meyers argued was the opposite of top secret. Meyer also mentioned the man dubbed "Salad Man" who continued eating despite the chaos outside. He also mentioned FBI Director Kash Patel's precarious job security.
