Los Angeles — A man was arrested on the grounds of President Donald Trump's golf course in California, two days before a scheduled presidential visit. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, the suspect was observed monitoring security measures and taking photos and videos.
The 38-year-old man was found carrying a magazine loaded with 16 rounds in his pants pocket. Investigators also discovered a loaded pistol in his car. He was arrested on charges of carrying a concealed firearm and possession of prohibited ammunition.
The sheriff's office announced the arrest on Tuesday as Trump prepared to travel to a fundraising dinner at his golf club, located south of Los Angeles.
During a subsequent search of the man's apartment on Monday, investigators recovered numerous firearms, magazines, ammunition, bulletproof vests, and notebooks containing "concerning statements." Despite these findings, the sheriff's office stated there is "no credible threat" to the public.
Background of Threats
The U.S. president and his properties have frequently been targets of threats:
- February 2026: The Secret Service shot a man who allegedly attempted to break into Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Trump was at the White House in Washington at the time.
- April 2026: During a fundraising dinner in Washington with Trump, a shooter fired several shots before being overpowered by security forces. The man was armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and several knives. No one was injured.
- September 2024: The Secret Service thwarted an assassination attempt on the then-former president at Trump's Florida golf course in West Palm Beach. The FBI believes the man, armed with an assault rifle, intended to shoot Trump while he was playing golf. This incident occurred two months after a failed assassination attempt at a campaign event, during which a shooter struck Trump's ear.
