The White House grounds have been infiltrated multiple times in the last decade.
In 2014, while Obama was in the Oval Office, Omar J. Gonzalez, an Iraq War veteran with PTSD, scaled the White House fence while armed with a knife and entered the building’s front door.
Three years later, in 2017, Jonathan Tuan-Anh Tran, 26, of California, while being armed with pepper spray, breached the White House grounds for 17 minutes before being apprehended.
