The White House is under lock-down procedures after a mysterious package was discovered on the north lawn of the presidential property. As a result, Washington DC police and secret service are investigating this package near the north face of the White House.

After 1:15 P.M., pedestrians and others were cleared from the area along Pennsylvania Avenue, according to a spokesperson from the Secret Service.
Only minutes prior, at 1:10 P.M., a man was arrested for unlawful entry on the Rotunda steps of the U.S. Capitol. He was also carrying a suspicious package, which turned out to be harmless. Police confirm that no hazardous materials were extracted from the package. The steps are absolutely off-limits, especially to common pedestrians.

One Twitter user by the name of Ray Q. Publius gave a tongue-in-cheek suggestion of who Secret Service should deliver that package to. Yup, another Trump joke.
