## Summary

A California man was arrested at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes on a Sunday after allegedly surveilling security preparations ahead of a planned visit by President Donald Trump. Authorities said the suspect was subsequently found in possession of a cache of weapons, including a loaded firearm in his vehicle, prompting concerns about a potential security threat targeting the president.

The suspect was named as Jeanine John Taele, 38, of Downey, California. He was arrested after plainclothes federal agents observed him walking the golf course grounds, photographing and filming the area in a manner authorities said appeared to monitor security-planning activities. A subsequent search uncovered multiple weapons linked to him, and he was taken into custody as investigators assessed the threat he posed ahead of Trump's scheduled visit.
