A car crashed into a security barrier at the White House complex on Monday night‚ leading to the arrest of the driver. U.S. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said that the crash happened around 6 p.m. when “a vehicle collided with an exterior gate on the White House complex.” “The driver has been taken into custody &; we are investigating the cause &; manner of the collision‚” he said. “Expect traffic implications at 15th Street &; Pennsylvania Ave &; adjacent intersections.” President Joe Biden was traveling at the time of the incident and thus was not at the White House.

The car hit a U.S. Secret Service vehicle that was being used to block an intersection near the headquarters. The car reportedly then tried to drive into the closed-off intersection when federal law enforcement officials surrounded the car and ordered the driver to put his hands up. Video of the incident shows Biden walking outside and talking to a heckler when the incident happened as the crash was loud enough that it grabbed the attention of Secret Service agents who quickly surrounded Biden and got him into the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle was later charged with DUI‚ according to local police. “Following our investigation‚ Wilmington Police have determined that this was an accidental collision‚ and have charged the driver of the striking vehicle – a 46-year-old Wilmington man – with Driving a Vehicle Under the Influence of Alcohol and Inattentive Driving‚” said Wilmington Police Department Communications Director David Karas.

One of the co-defendants in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ sprawling RICO case — against former President Donald Trump and several of his top associates — claimed in court filings this week that Willis had an “improper” relationship with one of the prosecutors in the case. The court filing claims that special prosecutor Nathan Wade‚ a private lawyer‚ paid for vacations that he allegedly took with Willis using funds his law firm received from the county as compensation for his work on the case. His firm has been paid approximately $650‚000. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted that the motion‚ filed on behalf of defendant Michael Roman‚ a former Trump campaign official “offers no concrete proof of the romantic ties between Willis and Wade‚ except to say ‘sources close to both the special prosecutor and the district attorney have confirmed they had an ongoing‚ personal relationship.'” The motion seeks for the charges to be dismissed against Roman and for Wade and the entire D.A.’s team to be “disqualified from further prosecution of the case‚” the AJC added. The motion claimed that some of the alleged activity could constitute “honest services fraud‚ a federal crime in which a vendor gives kickbacks to an employer.” The report noted that motion could have been filed to “simply muddy the waters by questioning Willis’ professional ethics.” A spokesperson for Willis said that the D.A.’s office will respond to the allegations “through appropriate court filings.” Multiple co-defendants in the case have flipped and have agreed to testify against the others. Some of those who have flipped include multiple attorneys who represented Trump after the 2020 election‚ including Sidney Powell‚ Jenna Ellis‚ and Kenneth Chesebro. Trump released a campaign ad back in August that included a claim that Willis “got caught hiding a relationship with a gang member she was prosecuting.” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said that the ad misrepresented a report from Rolling Stone to make the implication that she had an affair with a gang member.
