In accordance with the Secret Service, they had been notified of a person with “suicidal intentions” who could also be touring from Indiana. Round midnight, they encountered the person’s parked automobile close to the White Home and so they noticed a person matching the outline on foot, the Secret Service stated.

President Trump was not on the White Home on the time; he’s spending the weekend at Mar-a-Lago.
