U.S. President Joe Biden was briefed on Tuesday morning about a rented box truck that ran into security barriers near the White House a day earlier, said White House spokesperson Karine Jean Pierre.

The driver, identified as Sai Varshith Kandula, 19, of Chesterfield, Missouri, was detained by the Secret Service and faces a battery of charges, including threatening to kill, kidnap or inflict harm on the president, vice president or a family member, the U.S. Park Police said in a statement.
