A Trump administration official was physically assaulted inside the United Nations Thursday afternoon during the gathering of the UN General Assembly, FOX News Digital has learned.
“An HHS official was followed into a bathroom, recorded, physically assaulted and verbally accosted by a deranged leftist at the UN who somehow entered the venue past multiple layers of security,” said White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly.
This is after Trump’s escalator was sabotaged, his teleprompter was sabotaged and his mic was cut during this speech so he could not be heard.
How did this leftist get through security?
The UN is a terrrorist organization.

Trump administration official physically assaulted at UNGA by ‘deranged leftist,’ White House says
The individual was charged with assault, attempted assault, aggravated harassment and moreBy Brooke Singman, Fox News, September 26, 2025:
An official working in international relations for the Department of Health and Human Services was in New York City serving in a support role for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the department’s leadership team at UNGA.
“An HHS official was followed into a bathroom, recorded, physically assaulted and verbally accosted by a deranged leftist at the UN who somehow entered the venue past multiple layers of security,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital. “Thankfully, the official is safe, and the lunatic was arrested, but this is part of a disturbing and dangerous set of failures by the UN after their sabotage of President Trump ahead of and during his speech.”
Kelly told Fox News Digital that the U.S. Secret Service will investigate “how this violent protester was admitted into a major national security event.”
A source familiar told Fox News Digital that the individual has been charged with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault and criminal possession of a weapon. The individual was released from custody at 7:30 p.m. Friday night, the source said. The individual is expected in court next on Nov. 13.
“The UN must answer why these highly concerning incidents continue to happen against the president and his staff,” Kelly said.
“We are outraged that a member of the U.S. delegation was physically assaulted inside of UN Headquarters the afternoon of September 25,” a U.S. UN spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “This attack must be addressed swiftly, and consequences must be felt.”
The spokesperson told Fox News Digital that “the UN itself recognizes that it has lost its way.”
