Ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America, and we have harrowing
0:04
footage of an actual attack on the White House this morning. Folks, before we get started, please remember to like, comment, share, and subscribe
0:12
Those little things really help us out, and they help our channel continue to grow
0:16
So we got footage this morning of an attack that took place on Monday night, where a U-Haul
0:21
truck smashed the barricades of the White House. The suspect has been charged with an attempt to kill or harm the president, the vice president
0:30
or members of their families. We don't have much information right now on the subject or the attack, but let's take
0:38
a look at this video from CNN that actually shows the attack taking place, and then we'll
0:42
have some more information right afterwards. But here's where we begin. This developing overnight, maybe even after you went to sleep, a U-Haul truck ramming
0:51
into security barriers near the White House. Police say the driver was threatening to kill, kidnap, or harm the president, vice
0:57
president, or their family. Video shows police inspecting a Nazi flag with a swastika, a roll of duct tape, a notebook
1:04
and a black backpack that the suspect apparently had with him. Eyewitnesses say the driver crashed into the barriers, reversed, then tried to smash through
1:12
them again. The Secret Service evacuated a nearby hotel as bomb technicians searched the truck to
1:18
make sure there were no explosives. We are told nobody inside was hurt
1:23
So let's begin with our senior justice correspondent, Evan Perez, live at the scene. Terrifying
1:27
Evan, what do you know this morning? Yeah, good morning, Poppy. This is the scene where this all went down
1:35
We're at Lafayette Park, just a few hundred meters from the White House, and according
1:40
to the police, the driver of this truck came onto the sidewalk here
1:45
You can see the tire marks here down on the sidewalk, rammed into the bollards right there
1:51
the barriers that are protecting the park from access to the park and to the White House
1:58
rammed it a couple of times before they were arrested and charged
2:02
Now, they're facing multiple charges right now. This person has not been identified, but they're facing charges of assault with a dangerous
2:10
weapon, threatening to kill or kidnap a president, destruction of federal property, trespassing
2:16
a number of charges. We're expecting to learn more about the suspect later today
2:22
One of the things that happened immediately afterwards, of course, is the concern that
2:26
there could be explosives inside that U-Haul truck. According to the FBI, which did a search of it, no explosives were found, but for a time
2:35
the Secret Service evacuated the Hay Adams Hotel, which is across the street
2:41
Now, right over there, you see Black Lives Matter Plaza. This is, of course, a scene of a lot of protests in the wake of the killing of George Floyd
2:52
Looking at what you see in one of the videos there, according to the police who are doing
2:58
a search of the U-Haul, what you see there is someone holding what appears to be a flag
3:03
with a swastika on it. There's a backpack. Those are things that apparently were found inside that U-Haul
3:10
So the concern now is to figure out what brought that person here to Washington and
3:15
of course, to the scene here. Poppy? My goodness, it is so striking, Evan, to see that laid out on the ground, swastika and
3:22
those threats to the president. Thank you very much for the reporting
3:26
What we know right now is that the attack took place Monday night around 10 p.m
3:31
We know that there was a Nazi flag supposedly found in the truck, and we know that the suspect
3:36
is in custody, that no one was harmed in the incident, including Secret Service agents
3:41
or apparently the driver of the U-Haul themselves. That's all we know at this particular time
3:46
As we learn more about this situation, we will bring it to you here at Explain America
3:52
So stick with us throughout the day, throughout the coming days, as we find out more about
3:56
what's happening here. Again, I'm Carmine Sabia. This is Explain America. Please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe
