TL;DR Summary

A 19-year-old man from Missouri drove a U-Haul truck into a security barrier near the White House and waved a Nazi flag on Monday night. He was arrested and charged with damaging U.S. property. The man had flown to Washington, D.C., from St. Louis on a one-way ticket and had planned the attack for six months. He said he wanted to "seize power" from the government and "kill the president, if that's what I have to do." No one was injured in the incident, and no explosives or weapons were found in the truck or on the man.
