National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan who confronted an intruder in his D.C. home as a Secret Service detail stood guard outside, tells CNN’s Jake Tapper:
“I absolutely have faith in the Secret Service. They are consummate professionals.
“As far as the incident itself I have refrained from speaking about it publicly and will continue to refrain from speaking about it. I will just say that as far as the men and women in the Secret Service are concerned, they have my utmost respect.”
The Secret Service has been investigating how the intruder got past the security detail outside the home in late April around 3 a.m.
Sullivan confronted the man, who appeared to be intoxicated, and he left. Sullivan then notified the security detail.
