Man Arrested at Capitol with Machete During Carter’s Lying-in-State
A man was apprehended at the Capitol Visitor Center carrying a machete and three knives while former President Carter lay in state. The arrest occurred hours before President-elect Trump’s planned visit to pay respects. The individual was taken into custody on weapons charges, with his motives currently unknown. Meanwhile, President Biden, returning from California, is scheduled to deliver a eulogy at Carter’s funeral on Thursday. Carter’s body will remain in the Capitol Rotunda until the service.
