Video of the scene shows the White House at night filmed from a distance by Fox news anchor Tom Johnson.

As the camera zooms in on two windows on the second floor, red lights can be seen flashing wildly.

Plans of the White House suggest that the lights were coming from a dining room.

The incident comes as top US politician John McCain says Russia is a "bigger threat" than ISIS.

Johnson shared the footage on Twitter, sparking a flood of curiosity from viewers.

"If it's red, it's got to be the Russians!" wrote one user.

Another commented: "Looks like club lights."

Others joked the lights were a warning signal that the President escaped or Ivanka playing laser quest with husband Jared Kushner.

Several hours later Johnson posted another video showing the bedrooms in complete darkness with the caption: "Whatever it was, it's stopped now and all is back to normal for the White House."

Last week, Trump hit headlines for his behaviour in Brussels after he was caught shoving a NATO leader to stand at the front of the group.

The 70-year-old also engaged in an unnecessarily long handshake with French president Emmanuel Macron.
