Armed man arrested near White House after saying he heard voices telling him to kill Trump
Secret Service officers found three weapons in the vehicle of the suspect, who allegedly told officers he had heard voices in his head telling him to come to Washington and assassinate the president.
What the coverage shows
All five outlets center on an arrest near the White House involving a Venezuelan man and guns, with NBC News, Fox News and CBS News explicitly foregrounding an alleged threat against Trump. CBS News alone says DHS made the claim that he planned to kill Trump, while The Guardian US is the only outlet to emphasize the suspect’s reported statement about hearing voices, and ABC News is the only one to mention court documents and a stolen vehicle.
