Drunkard Broke Into Home Of US National Security Adviser
According to a Secret Service spokesperson, an unidentified guy broke into US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan’s Washington, D.C., house in late April, sparking an inquiry.
Like other prominent members of the executive branch, Sullivan has a 24-hour Secret Service detail that guards his apartment in Washington, D.C.
The burglar was reportedly drunk, had no idea where he was, and didn’t appear to know he was in the national security adviser’s house, according to the Washington Post, which broke the story.
The man entered Mr Sullivan’s Washington home around 3am in April.
Sullivan reportedly confronted the individual and told him to leave, then went outside to alert the Secret Service agents who protect him.
“Secret Service is examining a security incident that took place at a protectee site,” Anthony Guglielmi, the Secret Service’s director of communications, said in a statement on Tuesday, May 16.
“While the protectee was unharmed, we are taking this matter seriously and have opened a comprehensive mission assurance investigation to review all facets of what occurred.”
“Any deviation from our protective protocols is unacceptable and if discovered, personnel will be held accountable. Modifications to the protective posture have also been made to ensure additional security layers are in place as we conduct this comprehensive review.”
