National Security Adviser Jake Sullivanās Washington, D.C., home was targeted by a drive-by protest early Monday.
At about 8:20 a.m., a car driving past Sullivanās residence threw manure at the house, according to Politico, which called it a āsmall amount of manure.ā
District of Columbia workers eventually cleaned up the mess.
Secret Service representative Anthony Guglielmi said Secret Service Uniformed Division officers and D.C.ās bomb squad did respond to a āreport of a suspicious packageā near Sullivanās home at about 8:30 a.m., according to the New York Post.
āThe Metropolitan Police Departmentās Explosive Ordinance Disposal team responded and declared the scene as safe,ā Guglielmi said. āThe incident is under investigation.ā
Politico said the area has traffic and red-light cameras that could be used to track down who the New York Post called the āmanure-slinging per-poo-trator.ā

Sullivanās home has been the target of pro-Palestinian protests, including one on Christmas Day.
The left-wing group The Peopleās Forum, which organized that dayās protest, has called Sullivan a āwar criminal.ā
Sullivanās house was the target of another odd misadventure last April, when Sullivan found a man in his house in the middle of the night, according to The Washington Post.
The house has round-the-clock Secret Service protection.
The way the incident went, Sullivan confronted the man at about 3 a.m. and told him to leave. There were no signs of forced entry.
The man appeared to be either drunk or confused or both, and sources the Post quoted said it was believed the man did not know Sullivan or have any intent to harm him.
The manure incident comes as the Biden administration has affronted Israel by allowing a United Nations Security Council resolution to pass that calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.
John Kirby, the spokesman for the White Houseās National Security Council, insisted Monday that there was no change in policy, Politico noted.
He said the Biden administration wants to suppress Hamas and release hostages taken during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel while also having Ā ācandid, frank conversationsā about protecting civilians during the ongoing war.
āYou can do two things at the same time,ā Kirby said.
