RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree reported:

🚨🚨#BREAKING: MAN MANAGES TO SCALE TREASURY BUILDING FENCE NEAR WHITE HOUSE — SECRET SERVICE ARRESTS HIM.

The Secret Service Uniformed Division nabbed a man who successfully scaled the U.S. Treasury building fence near the White House.

(YEARS AGO, DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, CONGRESS PAID FOR HIGHER FENCES TO BE ERECTED AROUND THE WHITE HOUSE TO PREVENT JUST THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO, WHICH WAS HAPPENING AT AN ALARMING RATE, AT THE WHITE HOUSE COMPOUND).

Secret Service Uniformed Division ran across the White House compound to nab him to prevent him from getting closer to President Trump and the White House.

@SecretService
statement:
“On Monday, September 29 at approximately 4:55 p.m., an individual scaled the fence on the southeast side of the U.S. Treasury Building and was arrested by U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division officers for unlawful entry. He was subsequently transported to Metropolitan Police Department’s 2nd District for processing. There was no impact to our protective operations.”

At this time, we don’t know why the man climbed the White House fence, but it certainly seems like he was up to no good.

Crabtree noted that the intruder appeared to be trying to disguise himself as a Secret Service agent:

Here’s a closer look at the culprit:

Very strange.

The man is now facing charges of unlawful entry and is in custody at the police department.

WJLA confirmed:

A man climbed over the fence on the southeast side of the U.S. Treasury Building on Monday afternoon and was arrested by USSS, a spokesperson said.

The USSS said that their officers observed a man scaling the fence just before 5 p.m. onto federal property near the White House. Officers arrested him for unlawful entry and transported him to the Metropolitan Police Department’s 2nd District for processing, according to a USSS spokesperson.

Please continue to pray for the safety of President Trump and all of our elected officials.
