Police discovered weapons, ammunition, and security-related items on him, including a loaded gun, hollow-point ammunition, binoculars, and a badge claiming he was a security protection agent. Taele had been improperly approaching golf course employees and claiming to be a U.S. State Department employee. A search of his home found an illegally modified rifle, a pistol, body armor, additional magazines, radios, and notebooks with concerning statements.He is charged federally with posession of an unregistered short-barreled rifle, which carries a minimum sentence of 10 years, and faces additional state charges.Investigations by multiple agencies-including the FBI, Secret Service, ATF, and LA County Sheriff&#8217;s Department-are ongoing to determine his motives. The Secret Service has not shared specifics but investigates threats against protected individuals. The incident follows numerous threats and attempts against President Trump,including a recent plot that resulted in a man being sentenced to life in prison for trying to kill him at his Florida golf course. Trump\u2019s team commented on the threat, noting that only \u201cconsequential\u201d individuals are targeted by political violence.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A man was arrested at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles this past weekend, just days before President Donald Trump\u2019s planned visit to the course.<\/p>\n<p>Police found him with weapons, ammunition, and other items during a search, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/president-trump-los-angeles-county-golf-club-armed-suspect-arrested\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS News<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-cdca\/pr\/downey-man-who-was-arrested-loaded-pistol-trump-golf-club-charged-federal-complaint\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Department of Justice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jeanine John Taele, 38, was arrested Saturday after deputies said he was walking around the golf course taking photos and videos while appearing to track security routines.<\/p>\n<p>The Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department said deputies found a magazine loaded with hollow-point ammunition on the suspect and a loaded gun inside his vehicle.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">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\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oY3ISp8n6x\">pic.twitter.com\/oY3ISp8n6x<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 F.A.
