In what appears to be yet another close call for President Trump, authorities have revealed that an armed man was taken into custody Sunday at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Concerningly, it appears the man was caught while observing security practices being implemented at the resort.

Plainclothes federal agents spotted Jeanine John Taele, 38, of Downey, California, walking around the golf club while photographing and recording activities taking place on the property. One of those activities was reportedly the security preparations being made for the president's Tuesday-night Republican fundraiser at the club.

Authorities said Taele appeared to be watching or documenting security preparations when Lomita Sheriff's Station deputies arrived around 3:30 PM PT and detained him. After he was detained, it was determined that Taele was already under investigation for robbery by the El Segundo Police Department.

During a pat-down, deputies allegedly recovered a 16-round magazine loaded with hollow-point ammunition from Taele's pants pocket. Authorities then searched his vehicle, which was parked in the golf course parking lot, and recovered a loaded pistol with a round chambered, along with another loaded magazine containing hollow-point ammunition.

Taele was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed firearm and possessing prohibited ammunition.

When searching Taele's home, investigators reportedly recovered "an illegally modified AR-platform rifle; a 1911 .45-caliber pistol; an AR-platform upper receiver; body armor; high-capacity magazines; bulk pistol and rifle ammunition; two radio signal devices; and multiple notebooks containing what authorities described as "concerning statements."

BREAKING: An armed suspect identified as Jeanine John Taele, 38, was arrested at Trump National Golf Course after allegedly monitoring security preparations ahead of President Trump’s visit, authorities said.

Police said they later recovered an illegally-modified AR-style rifle, body armor, high-capacity magazines, ammunition and notebooks containing “concerning statements” from his home.

Jeanine John Taele, 38, of Downey, who was arrested at Trump National Golf Course Los Angeles in Rancho Palos Verdes, is charged in a federal criminal complaint with possession of an unregistered short-barreled rifle, a felony carrying a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison. Taele was detained after being seen taking photos and video of security-planning activities ahead of President Trump’s visit to the golf club today. LASD deputies found ammunition in Taele’s pocket, searched his vehicle, and seized a loaded pistol with a round chambered and a loaded magazine. A search of Taele’s residence seized high-powered firearms, ammunition, body armor, and a notebook. Taele is charged in Los Angeles Superior Court with firearms-related crimes and a 2025 robbery. He was granted $250,000 bail in that case. He is expected to make his initial appearance in the United States District Court in Los Angeles soon after his transfer to federal custody. While we are still investigating this individual’s motives, we are thankful he was apprehended before the President’s visit. The
