Approximately 42 minutes ago, Politico‘s Chief White House correspondent and Playbook author Mike Allen was spotted on the corner of Connecticut Ave. and H St. NW.
“He appeared to be in a heated and definitely extended discussion with secret service about getting past an area they roped off for some reason,” a Mirror tipster dished while offering photographic evidence of the conversation. “Lots of arms flapping.”
The Mirror sought comment from Allen. None was forthcoming by press time.
