A bomb threat prompted an evacuation in Washington, D.C.
The U.S. Treasury building and the Hotel Washington were evacuated Thursday morning after authorities responded to a report of a suspicious package near the White House, officials confirmed.
The Secret Service told DC News Now that the call came in around 9:45 a.m., and officers responded to the 15th Street near Pennsylvania Avenue NW.
I’m not sure what’s happening outside the Treasury Department right now
