Quick Summary

On Monday morning around 10:00 AM ET, an individual crashed their car into Lafayette Square Park near the North Lawn of the White House, leading to a temporary lockdown. The Secret Service ordered reporters inside the White House and restricted movement outside until around 10:30 AM when press freedom was partially restored. Video footage showed the driver attacking federal officials after the crash, but it remains unclear if the incident was intentional. President Trump was in the building at the time, though he did not make a public appearance.
