All clear at the White House. Reporters are being let back in. According to USS. Rare evacuation but all clear now.

This makes no sense at all. Obama wasn't moved from Oval. Earnest went to his office. Press was evacuated, which is next to both.

Josh @PressSec Earnest getting heat from press corp about the evacuation of the briefing room - why press evacuated and not president?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard the White House press corp so engaged and thorough. Wish it took more than a bomb threat to make this happen.

Interesting that WH threat was made specifically to the White House briefing room when it was phoned in.
