NORAH O'DONNELL: The so-called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President. He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this quote, "Administration officials, they are targets." And he also wrote this, "I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes." What's your reaction to that?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're you're he you're horrible people. Horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I'm– I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody.

NORAH O'DONNELL: Oh you think– do you think he was referring to you?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I'm not a pedophile. Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person? I got associated with all stuff that has nothing to do with me.

But I said to myself, "You know, I'll do this interview and they'll probably" I read the manifesto. You know, he's a sick person.

We were talking about it because we both have children, and she goes, ‘Can you guess what I'm naming my daughter?' And so this was happening backstage," he said. "We were interrupted because the president walked in. And so I said, ‘Let's save it for when we get up on the dais.'"

Pearlman later went on stage to introduce himself to Trump and Melania, and that's when he performed the magic trick on Leavitt, with the president and first lady also watching closely.

Mentalist Oz Pearlman, who hosted the White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday night, is revealing the magic trick he performed on Karoline Leavitt moments before shots were fired.

"I was coming to say hello to the president and to the first lady, and I was guessing letter by letter how many letters were in [Leavitt's unborn child's] name," he recalled. "Then right at the moment where you see it happen, I wrote down the name and I said, ‘How did I do?' And I turned around and that's when you see the first lady go, ‘Oh! Is that the name

Once the scene was under control, Pearlman told Karl that Leavitt gave him permission to share the name he had written on the paper.

He said, "I believe the name isVivian. So yeah, that's what I guessed."
