Armed man arrested at Trump's California golf course
An armed man has been arrested at US President Donald Trump's golf course in Los Angeles two days before the US leader's visit, the local sheriff's office said.
A 38-year-old man from Downey, California, named Jeanine John Taele, was arrested at US President Donald Trump's golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes on Sunday afternoon. Federal agents caught him on the course, taking photos and video while monitoring security plans. They found a 16-round magazine with hollow-point ammunition in his pants pocket and a loaded pistol in his vehicle.
Investigators from the sheriff's department and the FBI's counterterrorism unit later searched Taele's home, where they discovered an assault-style rifle, a pistol, a bulletproof vest, high-capacity magazines, ammunition, radios, and notebooks with concerning statements. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office will decide on charges against Taele after reviewing the case.
This incident is the latest in a series of threats against Trump, who has faced multiple assassination attempts since launching his presidential campaign. Trump's California golf club visit is closed to the press, with the president set to campaign and raise funds for the upcoming midterm elections.
