President Donald Trump's Oval Office erupted into chaos after a young family member of Dr. Mehmet Oz collapsed during his swearing-in ceremony. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had sworn-in Oz as administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Services. After the brief ceremony was over, Trump held a back and forth with reporters in the room.
That was hastily cut short, when the young girl collapsed - with Oz, a medical doctor, rushing to assist her. White House aides started yelling at the press to depart the scene. 'Thank you press, get out right now,' one aide is heard yelling. 'No photos!' someone said.
The White House soon provided the press with an update - the young family member was fine.
'A minor family member fainted during Dr. Oz;s swearing in ceremony in the Oval Office. We are happy to say she is OK,' a White House official said. Her fainting spell brought another rollicking mini press conference in the Oval to a dramatic conclusion.
