to capture the white house

Kandula, a resident of Chesterfield, Missouri, rammed a truck into a barricade at the US President’s office on Monday night. There was no casualty in the collision and no explosives were found inside the truck. According to the documents, he had prepared the plan for the incident in six months and his goal was to “seize the power by entering the White House and take command of the country”.

Kandula’s dangerous comment
Law enforcement officials said Kandula posed as an unemployed data analyst and made threatening remarks to the White House at the scene. He said that he wanted to kidnap and harm President Joe Biden. According to the allegations, Kandula later told the Secret Service that he had arrived on a one-way ticket from St. Louis the night of the incident. He wanted to “go to the White House, seize power, and be in charge of the nation”.
the hired truck
No explosives or weapons were found in the truck or near Kandula. This truck he had hired in Virginia, had a valid contract in his name. U-Haul’s rules allow people over the age of 18 to rent a truck. Kandula’s record was also not such that would prevent the contract from being issued.
