We reviewed raw video from before, during, and after former U.S. President Donald Trump's speech to examine this matter.

On Nov. 15, 2022, ABC News reporter and producer Olivia Rubin tweeted a video with the caption,"A crowd has formed by the exit of the ballroom as some try to leave Trump's announcement speech before he has finished…. But security won't let them." The tweet said that some people in the crowd were trying to leave early while former U.S. President Donald Trump was still finishing the announcement of his 2024 reelection campaign.

Rubin's video did appear to show that a very small number of people may have been attempting to leave early while Trump was still speaking. At the same time, some of the people seen in the foreground of the video may simply have been positioning themselves to be close to where Trump and his family would later exit the room. We examined raw video that showed the minutes after the completion of the speech.

The video began with four people who could be seen walking from right to left, toward the same doors from which Trump had entered and would later exit. One of the four people then gestured in the direction of the doors. Another man separate from the group of four people was then seen pointing in the direction of the doors with a throat slash gesture, perhaps indicating that the exit was not currently accessible. We were not able to identify these five people.

We reached out to both Rubin by email and Karl on Twitter in order to ask questions, but did not receive further details on the matter.
