New CCTV footage appears to show Washington press dinner suspect shoot at agent

CCTV footage has been released of the moment the White House Correspondents' Dinner suspect appears to shoot at a US secret service agent.

Jeanine Pirro, the US Attorney for DC, says the footage was released to the public to prove 'there is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire.'

Earlier on Thursday while answering questions from reporters, President Donald Trump said "it wasn't friendly fire," adding that "it wasn't us".

BBC's Peter Bowes runs through what the footage shows.
