The man is a suspect in a strong-arm robbery that happened in El Segundo in November 2025, El Segundo police said. Jeanine John Taele, 38, had been walking around the golf course taking photos and videos and “appearing to monitor security-planning activities” at the course, which the president has owned since 2002. Plainclothes federal agents noticed Taele acting “suspicious” and reported that to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 2, according to that agency. It is unclear if the suspect knew Trump would make an appearance this week at the golf course — the first news story about it apparently was published online at 3 a.m. Monday, Aug. 3. In March, an Arizona man armed with a loaded rifle painted in a manner inspired by “Batman” villain the Joker was arrested near the Trump National Golf Club after deputies found him running through traffic in a ballistic vest.
