Reporters were allegedly already calling the Carson campaign as the meeting was going on, with the two full-grown men in a closet that allegedly had no chairs, which indicates that someone leaked details in advance of The Daily Beast being informed about the meeting.
Secret Service members were guarding the door and simply said to a Republican operative in the hallway: “Yeah they’re in that closet.”
It is unclear if there were lights inside of it.
