   Donovan said the man was “tackled immediately” by Secret Service officers, who provide security at the White House. 
   
   It was not clear why Crudup climbed the fence, and authorities did not think that he was armed. A backpack that apparently belonged to him was being examined Tuesday night, Donovan said.
