The Secret Service is coming under renewed scrutiny after a man scaled the White House fence, and made it all the way through the front door before he was apprehended.
The security breach triggered a rare evacuation of much of the White House. Secret Service officers drew their guns, as they rushed staffers and journalists out a side door.
The man in jeans and a dark shirt scaled the fence shortly after 7 p.m., local time, appeared to be unarmed and ignored commands from officers to halt, Secret Service spokesperson Ed Donovan said. The intruder was tackled just inside the doors of the North Portico, the grand, columned entrance that looks out over Pennsylvania Avenue. A search of the suspect turned up no weapons.
