A man carrying a knife has been detained outside the White House in Washington, DC. He told the US Secret Service that he’d brought the weapon to “assassinate” Donald Trump.

The suspect himself approached a security officer who was patrolling outside the presidential residence Saturday afternoon, and told him of his plan. “I have a knife to do it with,” he said, according to a police report seen by AP.
