Surveillance video showing two Secret Service agents allegedly drunk driving into a bomb investigation at the White House has been erased. Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy told lawmakers the footage was lost because the agency automatically records over surveillance video every three days. But he said footage that does exist shows the incident was less serious than media reports have described.

Joseph Clancy: “I’ve also personally reviewed video surveillance from the evening of March 4th, and I welcome the opportunity to review this footage with each of you. Based on the footage, previous reports of a crash are inaccurate. There was no crash. The video shows a vehicle entering the White House complex at a speed of approximately one to two miles per hour and pushing aside a plastic barrel. There was no damage to the vehicle.”
