A Chinese national has been arrested after allegedly trying to enter Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump's Palm Beach, Florida club, while claiming to have documents that tie China to the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump.
Li's first of several attempts to reach Mar-a-Lago was July 19, when Li reportedly drove up to the estate's main entrance on South Ocean Boulevard in a gray Toyota Prius and told Secret Service agents that he had documents showing China was involved in the attempted assassination, according to an arrest report obtained by the Palm Beach Post.
Agents then reportedly told Li that he was trespassing and was not allowed on the property and the Palm Beach Police Department issued him a written warning, the report said.
On July 30, Li was seen once again while driving toward the club's security checkpoint, leading to another police confrontation where an officer noticed that Mar-a-Lago's address was loaded into the alleged trespasser's GPS directions, the arrest report stated.
The police let Li go and he left town, but Fox News reported that it was "Less than an hour later when his car was spotted south of Mar-a-Lago on South Ocean Boulevard."
Palm Beach Police and Secret Service agents again told him not to return to Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach Post reported.
Li is now facing a misdemeanor trespassing charge, the Palm Beach Post reported.
