Intruder Who Jumped White House Fence On Grounds For Nearly 17 Minutes, Rattled Door Handle, Looked In Window
This is crazy. Trump was home and this guy had 17 minutes on the grounds? What if he had a bomb in his backpack? This seriously seriously messed up…
Via WaPo:
A California man carrying Mace roamed for nearly 17 minutes inside the secured White House perimeter before he was taken into custody March 10 near the South Portico entrance, the Secret Service acknowledged Friday.
And:
WASHINGTON — The chairman of the House Oversight Committee says an intruder on the White House grounds was able to “look through” a White House window and “rattle the door handle” before being apprehended last week.
Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz (CHAY’-fits) tells CNN he was told by the Homeland Security Secretary that the person went undetected on the grounds for 17 minutes while President Donald Trump was inside.
Chaffetz calls the incident a “complete and utter total failure.”
The Secret Service said in a statement that the intruder breached a 5-foot outer perimeter fence and scaled an 8-foot vehicle gate to gain entry.
The agency stressed the intruder never made it inside White House.
It is still investigating and has put additional security posts, technology enhancements and new response protocols into place.
