Congressional intern suspended after yelling obscenity at President Trump at the Capitol

Washington • A congressional intern who yelled an obscenity at President Donald Trump at the Capitol last week has been suspended.

The incident took place on June 19, as Trump was walking to the office of House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., to discuss immigration, according to a video taken by NBC News reporter Frank Thorp V.

In the video, as Trump’s entourage walks through a corridor, a woman can be heard shouting “Mr. President!” — followed by a profane insult.

The woman, who was on the other side the Capitol Rotunda at the time, was identified as an intern working for Sen.
