| (35 minutes later) | |
| An intruder has been arrested after entering the White House grounds, the US secret service has said. | |
| The male interloper entered the property on Friday night and was arrested at around 11.38pm near the South entrance to the residence wing — where President Donald Trump and his guests often stay. | |
| He was carrying a backpack and scaled a fence to get into the White House grounds, according to reports. | |
| Officials said the individual, who was not identified, was arrested without further incident. | |
| Mr Trump, who was in the residence at the time, was not in any danger from the security breach, which occurred around midnight, CNN reported. | |
| No hazardous materials were found during a search of the intruder's backpack. | |
| A search of the south and north grounds of the White House complex found "nothing of concern to security operations". | |
| Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly was briefed on the incident. | |
| The secret service did not provide an update on the individual's status. Standard practice is to hand intruders over to the local police department. | |
| The White House could not be reached immediately to confirm the report. | |
