A man carrying a backpack was arrested Friday night after breaching security at the White House complex, officials said. He was discovered by a Secret Service officer by the south entrance to the executive residence.
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.
