Live Mint  

Washington: An intruder carrying a backpack was arrested after scaling a fence around the White House and entering the grounds, the US Secret Service said on Saturday, in the latest breach of security at the president’s official residence. President Donald Trump was inside the White House when the male suspect climbed over the fence on the complex’s South Grounds at 11:38 pm on Friday, and uniformed officers arrested him, the Secret Service said in a statement. “Secret Service did a fantastic job,” Trump told reporters at the start of a working lunch on Saturday afternoon with several Cabinet members at his golf course outside Washington. In the latest incident, Tran was apprehended near the south portico entrance, where presidents often address the public, US authorities said in court documents released on Saturday.
