The Secret Service locked down the White House on Tuesday following a sudden and unexplained security incident that sent reporters scrambling and prompted a temporary shutdown of the North Lawn.

According to multiple sources, members of the press were abruptly rushed into the briefing room as agents secured the grounds. Within the hour, the all-clear was given — but not before the situation sparked questions across social media.

Eventually, outlets such as The Times of India reported that a cell phone had been thrown over the fence onto the White House lawn.

“Somebody threw their phone over the fence,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed later, without offering further detail.

The brief but dramatic episode comes on the heels of the one-year anniversary of the 2024 assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. During that horrifying moment, a bullet tore past Trump’s ear and killed a supporter behind him. Two others were seriously wounded before the shooter, Thomas Crooks, was neutralized by a Secret Service counter-sniper.

The heightened tension in Washington, D.C. is understandable. But behind the scenes, an even more consequential development is quietly unfolding — and it could rock the foundations of the Deep State.

According to multiple sources speaking to Just the News, the FBI has quietly launched a sweeping investigation into what insiders are calling a "grand conspiracy" — a coordinated operation by Democrat operatives and embedded intelligence insiders designed to sabotage Donald Trump across three consecutive election cycles.

This stunning probe, greenlit after FBI Director Kash Patel assumed control of the agency, may culminate in the appointment of a special counsel and has already identified several key targets. Among them: the architects of the Russia collusion hoax, Special Counsel Jack Smith, and former Obama-era intelligence officials.

Sources indicate the investigation could rapidly accelerate if President Trump declassifies two highly sensitive documents:

1. A classified annex from the long-buried DOJ Inspector General’s report on Hillary Clinton’s private email server — which Senator Chuck Grassley has demanded. The annex reportedly shows the FBI ignored credible criminal evidence implicating Clinton.
2. A classified appendix from Special Counsel John Durham’s Russiagate report, containing what Durham labeled “Clinton plan intelligence.” That document reportedly proves the CIA had foreknowledge that the Clinton campaign was fabricating a Trump-Russia narrative — before the FBI even launched the infamous Crossfire Hurricane probe.

These documents have been locked away for nearly a decade, under the guise of protecting “sources and methods,” but many believe their real function is to protect powerful political players from accountability.

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe recently slammed the intelligence establishment, accusing the CIA under John Brennan of pushing Steele Dossier disinformation through official channels — not because it was credible, but because it fit the narrative they wanted.

Ratcliffe minced no words, saying the process under Brennan and then-FBI Director James Comey was “atypical and corrupt.”

Now, there’s growing talk that the Trump administration could also appoint a special counsel to probe another election integrity bombshell: A report that the FBI had intel in August 2020 that China was attempting to influence the election by flooding the U.S. with counterfeit mail-in ballots — and instead of acting on the information, the FBI suppressed and recalled it.

Other agencies were allegedly told to destroy the intel, according to sources — an act that, if confirmed, could be one of the most explosive cover-ups in modern U.S. political history.

As these threads unravel, it’s becoming increasingly clear why the establishment has worked so aggressively to keep Trump tied down in legal warfare: They had everything to lose if he ever regained power — and had the authority to pull back the curtain.
