Fighter jets were scrambled earlier Saturday to intercept a civilian aircraft that violated the restricted airspace north of Wilmington, Delaware, where President Joe Biden is staying, according to a Secret Service spokesperson.
"As a precaution, assets were scrambled to intercept and the civilian aircraft safely landed at a nearby airport," Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the Secret Service, said in a statement.
"There were no impacts to the protectee's movements as a result of this incident and agents from the United States Secret Service are investigating in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration," he added.Solange Reyner | [email protected] Solange Reyner is a writer and editor for Newsmax.
