The truck contained presidential seals, podiums and sound equipment, Richmond station WWBT-TV first reported.
The teleprompter was recovered along with the other equipment -- all of which was worth some $200,000, foxnews.com reported. "No classified or sensitive information was in the vehicle," the Defense Information System Agency said on Tuesday in a statement. "We take incidents such as this very seriously, and a formal investigation is continuing in coordination with relevant law enforcement agencies." At a speech in Millers Creek, N.C., on Monday the president could be seen using notes at his podium while discussing his American Jobs Act. -- Written by Joe Deaux in New York. >To contact the writer, click here: Joe Deaux. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to: http://twitter.com/JoeDeaux. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: tips@thestreet.comSelect the service that is right for you!
