A 38-year-old man was arrested on the grounds of Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles two days before President Trump was scheduled to hold a fundraising dinner there. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, the man was observed monitoring security measures and taking photos and videos. He carried a magazine loaded with 16 rounds in his pants pocket, and a loaded pistol was found in his car. A subsequent search of his apartment uncovered numerous firearms, magazines, ammunition, bulletproof vests, and notebooks with concerning statements. Despite this, authorities stated there is no credible threat to the public. The incident adds to a history of security incidents involving Trump and his properties, including a 2024 assassination attempt thwarted at his Florida golf course and a shooting at a Washington fundraising dinner in April.
