Federal charges filed against a California man after an investigation tied to suspicious activity during the advance security planning for last night's visit to Los Angeles. – at Washington, DC
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 federal prison.
Taele was detained after being seen taking photos and video of security-planning activities ahead of President Trump’s visit to the golf club today.
LASD deputies found ammunition in Taele’s pocket, searched his vehicle, and seized a loaded pistol with a round chambered and a loaded magazine.
A search of Taele’s residence seized high-powered firearms, ammunition, body armor, and a notebook.
Taele is charged in Los Angeles Superior Court with firearms-related crimes and a 2025 robbery. He was granted $250,000 bail in that case.
He is expected to make his initial appearance in the United States District Court in Los Angeles soon after his transfer to federal custody.
While we are still investigating this individual’s motives, we are thankful he was apprehended before the President’s visit. The @FBILosAngeles, @LosAngelesATF, @SecretService, and @LASDHQ intervened early and prevented a potentially dangerous situation. We thank them for their quick work.
This remains an active investigation.

America, it's time to celebrate!
At President Donald J. Trump's direction, gates to the National Mall will reopen at 9:45 PM. The Salute to America celebration will move forward, the President will deliver remarks at 11:00 PM, and the fireworks spectacular will follow.
Rain or shine, the American people deserve a celebration worthy of our nation's historic 250th birthday.

The U.S. Secret Service temporarily suspended checkpoint operations on the National Mall due to rapidly deteriorating weather conditions. Attendees already within the secure area are being directed to designated shelter locations by Secret Service personnel, U.S. Park Police and event staff.
No one is being admitted at this time. This action was taken solely in the interest of public safety, and we have no estimate for when screening may resume.
