Armed Man Arrested Near White House on Suspicion of Threatening to Kill Trump

An armed man was arrested near the White House earlier this week, the Secret Service said. He was found in his car and is suspected of threatening to kill US President Donald Trump.

The incident occurred on Thursday evening, local time, after Secret Service agents noticed a man “acting suspiciously” in a car.

The man is described as having travelled to Washington, D.C., with the suspected aim of killing the US president. The stolen car contained ammunition and three firearms, the Department of Homeland Security said.

Several similar incidents involving threats have occurred during Donald Trump’s second term as president.
