Thanks. So was it a guy holding a cell phone, or actually an explosive?

Not sure what the guy was holding, but seems he said he had explosives.

Capitol Police to do a press conference soon. Penguinsix is livestreaming on YouTube right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0XDb9oDlwg

I’m sure he’ll have an edited video after it’s all over.

From a news article. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/19/us-capitol-police-respond-to-report-of-suspicious-vehicle-near-library-of-congress.html

The man in the black pickup truck has been making anti-government statements, according to law enforcement officials who spoke with NBC News.

Officials said the man claimed to have a propane tank inside the cab of the truck, and also claimed to be holding a detonator. But officers have not been able to look inside the cab.

Two law enforcement officials told NBC that man in the truck is communicating with authorities by writing on a dry-erase board that he had in the vehicle.
