Man Arrested At Trump Golf Course Reportedly Knew First Lady’s Schedule
Deputies who detained Taele allegedly found a 16-round magazine loaded with hollow-point ammunition in his pants pocket.
The man arrested at President Trump’s California golf course allegedly had first lady Melania Trump’s schedule and detailed information about the Secret Service.
38-year-old Jeanine John Taele was arrested earlier August after agents spotted him walking the grounds of the golf club, taking pictures and videos, and appearing to monitor security-planning activities ahead of Trump’s visit.
Deputies who detained Taele allegedly found a 16-round magazine loaded with hollow-point ammunition in his pants pocket.
Investigators learned that he reportedly had seven notebooks containing 208 pages of drawings and sketches of Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles, lists of USSS schedules, details about individual security personnel and copies of the first lady’s schedule.
The writings also included detailed lists about surviving “off the grid.” The judge suspended criminal proceedings after a pretrial evaluation indicated Taele was not mentally fit to stand trial and sent the case to a mental health court.
