A secret report compiled by the Secret Service reveals that the security surrounding America’s president has been breached at least 91 times since 1980, ‘The Washington Post’ reported.

A summary of the 2003 report, obtained by the leading US newspaper, contains accounts of many breaches, including a family who were allowed to the White House grounds in minivan, a man believed to be a delivery driver, and a woman previously known to Secret Service agents after she had falsely claimed a “special relationship” with Bill Clinton.

The report states that the list of security breaches exposes significant gaps that could be exploited by “would-be assassins” and erodes “one of the best tools for deterring future attempts” — the aura of invulnerability around the White House.
