A person climbed a White House fence Friday night and gained access to the complex’s south grounds before being arrested, the Secret Service said Saturday, shortly after noon. The incident occurred at about 11:38 p.m. Friday while President Trump was at the White House, officials told Fox News. The Secret Service also said the unidentified person scaled an outer-perimeter fence on the White House complex’s southeast side, near the Treasury Building, and was arrested without further incident by an officer in the agency’s Uniformed Division. The intruder was carrying a backpack and purportedly got close to the White House’s south portico residence entrance, near the Washington Monument. Trump told reporters Saturday afternoon that he appreciates the Secret Service efforts and that the accused is disturbed.
