According to the reports, the 19-year-old later told the Secret Service agents that he had flown from St. Louis on a one-way ticket that night. He wanted to "get to the White House, seize power, and be put in charge of the nation". The officials also revealed that Kandula accepted that he would "kill the president" if that's what he has to do.
It is reportedly said that Kandula bought the flag online as he admires the Nazis' "great history" as well as their "authoritarian nature, eugenics, and their one world order".
Officials revealed that no explosives or weapons were found in the truck or with Kandula. The U-Haul company reportedly said that he had a valid contract in his own name and people can rent a truck from from their company at age 18, and there were no red flags on his rental record that could have prevented the contract to be issued.
