The White House grounds were evacuated Sunday after the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) discovered an "unknown item." 

"U.S. Secret Service Uniform Division Officers located an unknown item on the White House complex," a USSS spokesperson told Fox News Digital. 

"As a precaution, the White House grounds were evacuated, and the DC Fire Departments Hazmat team responded," the spokesperson said.
