Young man snuck onto Mar-a-Lago while Trump was there

A young man has been sentenced to a year of probation after he snuck through a tunnel onto President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property while Mr. Trump was there in November, according to court documents. 

Mark Lindblom pleaded guilty to entering a restricted building or grounds after he “knowingly and willfully entered MAL, through the Ocean Boulevard tunnel, and remained at MAL until discovered by agents of the USSS,” according to court documents filed in U.S. District Court in South Florida. Court documents claim Lindblom was staying with family at a neighboring beachfront property the day after Thanksgiving when he committed the offense. 

According to the Palm Beach Post, Lindblom told a federal magistrate Tuesday he had no ill intentions when he tried to visit the club, saying he just wanted to see if he could do it. Lindblom was born in 2000, according to court records, making him either 17 or 18 at the time of the 2018 incident. 

News of Lindblom’s case comes after a Chinese woman was charged for allegedly lying her way onto the president’s property, a case that raised questions about security measures at what the president calls the “winter White House.” 

An attorney for Lindblom did not immediately return a request for comment.
