White House Intruder Set to Make First Court Appearance

The man accused of entering the White House with a knife is set to make his first court appearance for the first time since being indicted yesterday. Omar Gonzales, an Iraqi war veteran, faces federal and local charges following the Sept. 19 incident in which he's accused of jumping the White House fence and getting into the executive mansion through the unlocked front door. The breach prompted a congressional hearing Tuesday in which the head of the Secret Service was grilled by lawmakers. As members of Congress question the competency of the Secret Service, more embarrassing disclosures are coming to light.
