(CNN) City and school officials have revised their figures over the past 24 hours on the number of students who saw President Donald Trump speak Friday at a historically black college.

On Friday, Columbia, South Carolina, Mayor Stephen Benjamin told CNN's Sarah Westwood that out of more than 200 invitees to the President's speech, only about 10 were actual students from the college. Benedict College spokeswoman Kymm Hunter told reporters on Friday that only seven students ultimately attended the speech.

Appearing on CNN's "Newsroom" on Saturday afternoon, Benjamin told CNN's Fredricka Whitfield that there were "about 33 students there." On Saturday, school officials told Westwood and CNN's Caroline Kenny that "32 or 33" students were in attendance at the speech. The mayor, on Saturday, told CNN that the school put out an updated figure later on Friday. He also told CNN in two separate interviews on Saturday that 10 students were initially invited, but 33 were allowed in.

Ceeon Smith, the chief of staff at Benedict, told CNN the discrepancy came from the students in attendance that were scholars of a certain program and who had attended the event with a trustee of the college. Smith said "32 or 33" students attended the session with the President.

The new figure is still a small fraction of the more than 2,100 students who attend the school.
