WASHINGTON, May 11 (Reuters) – The West Wing of the White
House was evacuated on Saturday, possibly due to smoke from an
electrical closet, and there was no indication of danger to
President Barack Obama, CNN and Fox News reported.
Obama’s Oval Office and top staff offices are located in the
West Wing adjacent to the main White House. Fox reported fire
trucks were at the scene. Reuters was checking the report.
