Police in Palm Beach, Florida, responded to a trespassing call at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort on Nov. 3, authorities said.
The Palm Beach Police Department told media outlets on Nov. 3 that the U.S. Secret Service contacted the office when a man refused to leave Trump’s resort.
“At 8:08 this morning, we had a male subject that was stopped at one of the gates refusing to leave the property. We responded, spoke briefly with him, and he was issued a written warning for trespass and he left the area so there wasn’t an incident report or anything associated with it.”
Other details about the incident, including the identity of the male who trespassed, weren’t released by police. The Secret Service didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time.
The former president hasn’t issued a public comment about it. It’s unclear if Trump or former First Lady Melania Trump were at his Mar-a-Lago residence at the time. The former president was slated to appear at a midterm campaign rally in Iowa later on Nov. 3.
In early August, the FBI raided Trump’s home and seized boxes of documents, including allegedly classified materials. Trump has insisted that it was a politically motivated raid, while the Department of Justice hasn’t brought any charges.
The incident comes about a week after an individual allegedly broke into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) home and assaulted her husband, Paul, with a hammer, according to court documents. David DePape, 42, is accused of approaching Paul Pelosi while he was sleeping and demanding to know where the House speaker was.
Investigators added DePape had planned to break Nancy Pelosi’s kneecaps if she was home. Officials said she was in Washington at the time.
Questions have emerged about why DePape was able to gain access to the home of Pelosi, who is second in line to the presidency, and why there were no security guards. On Nov. 2, the U.S. Capitol Police issued a statement saying that it had access to security cameras at the Pelosi residence in San Francisco but didn’t monitor any unusual activity there until San Francisco police arrived on the scene.
