about earlier this hour. there was a report this evening that omar gonzalez was not stopped at the front door as first reported by the secret service. but made it into the east room. ran by the stairs that lead up to the first family's private residence. "washington post" reporter cara lynn first broke the news today. and she joins us live. wow, a lot going on here. first off, how does he manage to get so far inside the white house? a lot went wrong. >> yeah. last week we thought a lot went wrong. we saw what happened on the outside. we knew that a k-9 dog that was supposed to attack him didn't, wasn't released. we knew that uniform officers weren't able to collar him, nor was a s.w.a.t. team on the ground. you know, there wasn't somebody standing in front of his way at the door. we knew that a host of things didn't work out the way they should have. now we're learning a little bit more of the layer behind the front door, and that is that a female officer who was pretty junior in the secret service was stationed inside. the protocol is you're supposed to lock the door when you know there is an intruder on the ground. apparently either she didn't hear that or didn't know that. she tried to collar him when he burst through. he overpowered her and got past her. he got himself right into the east room and then finally was tackled by a counter assault agent at the entrance to the green room. we're learning this from whistle blowers who have come forward to members of congress and also to sources who have come to us at the "washington post." and it's kind of scary to think that he could have gotten in there and made himself a cup of coffee. >> right. also, the secret service is now going to have to answer some cuff questions, because this completely -- this contradicts the secret service's earlier statement. >> well, the secret service has officially said they're not commenting about anything about this incident, that it's under review. but, you know, behind channels, they have said, you know, he got to the door, he got inside. that's true. but now we know a lot more. he went a lot further than the door. >> all right. carol lehning of the "washington post" breaking news about the fence jumper who got
