## Transcript

Yesterday evening, the AFP arrested and charged a self proclaimed Australian leader of the internationally renowned computer hacking collective know as Lulzsec. This individual was operating from a position of trust, who had access to sensitive information from clients including government agencies. I just wanna say at the top that it appears as though AP's twitter account has been hacked. So, anything that was just sent out about any incident at the White House is obviously false and we'll be putting something out very shortly to clarify that, that hasn't happen already. Good. I thank you for that.

I appreciate that. And I can say that, that the president is fine. I was just with him.
