A driver was arrested and a Nazi flag was seized from the scene after a truck crashed into security barriers near the White House on Monday night.
A law enforcement official told NBC News that the suspect made threatening statements about the White House at the scene but was quickly detained. The truck was found to be empty, the official said, without providing further details about the incident.
Asked for their reaction, the official said: “I don’t think there’s any place for a Nazi flag or the statements that he made.”
