NOW PLAYING
A van drove through a barricade near the White House early Wednesday morning, authorities said.
The Secret Service said an individual drove the vehicle into a temporary security barrier near Madison Ave., NW and H Street, NW shortly before 6:30 a.m. EDT. No injuries were reported.
"The Metropolitan Police Department's Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Team responded and subsequently cleared the vehicle, declaring the scene safe," officials said in a statement.
The driver, who was not identified, was quickly detained by uniformed Secret Service officers and is currently being interviewed, according to the agency.
Authorities said criminal charges are pending, however it was not clear what specific charges the driver may face.
The Secret Service did not immediately respond to questions about whether President Trump was inside the White House at the time of the incident.
Several streets and entrances surrounding the White House that were closed while authorities investigated have reopened.

Taking bets on the first NT'er to say this was a raging leftist liberal
One name stands out.
I bet we're thinking of the same person
it's a toss up between the drunk or the local minister of maga propaganda ...
a swing and a miss ...
next batter ...
The article doesn't say anything about the person's politics. They haven't ID'ed him or her, either.
meh, who cares ...
all I know is that shitbag has got a ways to go before he even comes close to the 42 attempts on hitler ...
42? I thought there was only 2? Do I have to start watching more Hitler documentaries?
no need for that when POS/POTUS is pretty much repeating most of hitler's white nationalist bullshit ...
