Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department responded to an incident at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters in Washington D.C. this afternoon, September 11th, 2025, between 5:18 PM and 5:46 PM UTC, according to social media reports. Senate staffers received an alert from Capitol Police describing an "incident" at the DNC headquarters, as confirmed by a reporter. During this period, reports also emerged on social media suggesting President Donald Trump appeared unwell at a 9/11 commemoration event, with one post stating, "Oh he's had a stroke," and another captioning an image as "President Trump’s face appears drooped as he seemingly struggles to stay awake at a 9/11 memorial." These reports surfaced concurrently with the news of the incident at the DNC headquarters. Previous reports from earlier today detailed the firing of British Ambassador Peter Mandelson due to ties with Jeffrey Epstein, and the ongoing investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. The State Department, under Senator Marco Rubio, is set to ban foreigners who celebrated Kirk's assassination online, and Senator Thom Tillis criticized pundits for using the event to incite conflict. Utah Valley University remains closed until September 15th. Additionally, Nadine Menendez, wife of former Senator Bob Menendez, was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison.
