US President Donald Trump has denied reports he was rushed to the White House bunker during anti-racism protests.
Trump told Fox News radio he went down during the day for a "tiny period of time" for an "inspection".
There have been protests near the White House, and across the US, for days over the death in custody of George Floyd.
Although some have turned violent, the defence secretary has said he does not back deploying "active duty forces".
Mark Esper says he did not support invoking the Insurrection Act, which would enable the deployment of federal troops for domestic law enforcement.
This marks a break with President Trump, who has threatened to use the 1807 act and call up troops to quash demonstrations.
