26-year-old Venezuelan man arrested near White House for plotting to kill Donald Trump

On November 7, 2026, security forces in Washington D.C. arrested a 26-year-old Venezuelan national following the discovery of a suspicious vehicle parked approximately 500 meters from the White House. The suspect was found in possession of three firearms inside the car.

Security personnel approached the individual to assess the situation after observing the vehicle. As the man did not speak English, he communicated with officers using Google Translate. During the interaction, he allegedly confessed that he was hearing voices instructing him to kill United States President Donald Trump. Reports from various sources, including Politis and Rik News, indicate that the suspect is believed to be suffering from mental health issues.

Authorities have taken the suspect into custody for further investigation into the incident. No further details regarding legal proceedings or specific charges beyond the immediate arrest have been released at this time.
