ADADSmall confrontations were ongoing into the evening near the White House, and D.C. police appeared to make a small number of arrests. The president called Saturday’s rallies — which have been promoted by far-right media personalities, white nationalists and conspiracy theorists — “heartwarming” in a tweet Friday afternoon. Barron declined to comment on the simultaneous pro-Trump rallies planned for Saturday because, he said, organizers were not involved in planning those. Constitution Avenue will be closed between 18th Street NW and Pennsylvania Avenue NW. On the other side of the Mall, Independence Avenue will be closed from 14th Street to Ohio Avenue SW. Several main thoroughfares, including New York Avenue and G, H, I and K streets, will be shut down from 9th Street NW to 18th Street NW.
