More from CNN:
A man carrying a backpack was arrested Friday night after breaching security at the White House complex and was discovered by a Secret Service officer by the south entrance to the executive residence, officials said.
The incident happened just before midnight while President Donald Trump was at the White House.
A Secret Service source said the intruder might have entered the White House grounds on the east side before making his way near the residence’s south portico entrance.
The White House was placed under security condition “orange,” one of the highest levels of security for the Secret Service.
The suspect was arrested by the Secret Service and taken into custody.
Well that ain’t no good.
Do you remember how terrible the Secret Service was under Obama? I wonder if that’s going to continue under Trump. It’s also been reported that he is using his OWN security on top of the Secret Service.
UPDATE!!
It turns out the nut had mace in his backpack, and he was kinda crazy.
