CBSN
A man was taken into custody after the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., was vandalized, authorities said. U.S. Park Police reported Tuesday evening that the area around the base of the monument had been "temporarily closed" as a result.
Footage from CBS affiliate WUSA-TV showed the monument's base splattered with red paint.
The name of the suspect was not immediately released. No further details were confirmed.
Embattled aircraft giant Boeing Wednesday argued to the Justice Department that the company has upheld its end of a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement, and pushed back at federal prosecutors who wrote last month that the plane manufacturer has violated the deal and risked being prosecuted, two people familiar with the discussions confirmed to CBS News.
