 That's WTOP's national security correspondent, J.J. Green. Meantime, some road closures that have been causing backups in D.C. this week are being lifted. All closures west of the White House on 15th Street, 17th Street, and Constitution Avenue are now over. However, there are additional closures going into effect near the White House today. Previous closures around the Convention Center will remain in place through tomorrow. The Mount Vernon Square Metro Station will reopen tomorrow at 5 a.m. Stay with us for the latest traffic conditions on the 8th.
