Armed man arrested near White House for allegedly threatening Trump
The Secret Service said a Venezuelan migrant in the U.S. illegally was arrested with an arsenal of weapons in his car near the White House and threatened to kill President Trump. NBC News’ Tom Winter reports.
What the coverage shows
Fox News and NBC News both center on the Secret Service arrest near the White House and both foreground an alleged threat against Trump. Fox adds that the vehicle was stolen and frames the suspect as an “armed Venezuelan migrant,” while NBC says he was “in the U.S. illegally” and describes an “arsenal of weapons.” Fox alone uses the phrase “Trump assassination threat,” while NBC’s headline is more general about threatening Trump.
