  • U.S. authorities arrested a 38-year-old armed man at a Donald Trump-owned golf course in California.
  • The man was reportedly photographing security measures, leading to the discovery of weapons and ammunition in his vehicle and home.
  • The arrest occurred days before Trump's scheduled visit to the golf course for a Republican Party fundraiser.

Authorities arrested a 38-year-old armed man at a Donald Trump golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, just two days before the former president's planned visit. The man, identified as Janine John Tayle, raised suspicions by photographing and videoing security areas.

During his arrest on Sunday afternoon, officers found a magazine with 16 rounds in his pocket. A subsequent search of his vehicle uncovered a loaded handgun and another ammunition magazine. Authorities later searched his Downey home, discovering an assault rifle, a second handgun, a bulletproof vest, high-capacity magazines, two radios, and "disturbing" notebooks.

Trump visited the golf course on Tuesday evening for a Republican National Committee fundraiser ahead of the midterm elections. The case has been handed over to the Los Angeles District Attorney's office to decide on charges. The incident has heightened concerns, as Trump has been the target of multiple assassination attempts during and after his 2024 presidential campaign.
