Donald Trump speech livestream thrown into chaos as CNN among networks forced to abruptly cut feed sparking outrage
VIEWERS were left baffled after live streams of Donald Trump's speech were thrown into chaos on Wednesday morning.
President-elect Trump was giving a speech at the House Republican Conference when all networks cut their feeds.
Networks including CNN, Fox, and the Associated Press cut their audio as their cameras turned away from the address at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill.
Viewers shared their outrage at the interruption on social media.
"The pool cameraman is fired," one slammed on X.
"Trump is talking and the pool cameraman or woman can't even keep the camera straight."

"What’s happening that the news just cut away from Trump’s speech???" one confused viewer wrote.
A reason for the interruption hasn't been given.
Reporters only got to witness a few minutes of Trump's address.
"It's always nice to win," Trump said, acknowledging his victory over Democrat Kamala Harris last week.
He secured all seven swing states to sweep to power, winning 312 electoral college votes to Harris' 226 in the end.
As he spoke about his victory in swing states, a person at the conference could be heard shouting something unintelligible.
Despite the stopped streams, Trump's remarks at the conference continued.
WHITE HOUSE VISIT
Trump's meeting with House Republicans is set to be followed by a visit to the White House.
President Joe Biden invited the president-elect to a meeting, honoring a decades-old tradition where the outgoing president hosts the incoming one.
However, Trump broke the tradition in 2020 when Biden was elected to be president.
At the time, Trump didn't extend an invitation to host Biden at the White House as he refused to concede the election results.
Trump arrived in Washington DC on Wednesday morning with Elon Musk, who was just named to lead Trump's Department of Government Efficiency alongside Vivek Ramaswamy.

The future First Lady Melania Trump isn't attending today's White House meeting, but no explanation has been given for her absence.
