Victim’s Text Messages Revealed After Man Passes Away Outside Mar-a-Lago

The Mar-a-Lago incident comes amid heightened security concerns. Just five days earlier, a Georgia man armed with a shotgun was arrested outside the U.S. Capitol as he sprinted toward the building’s west side.

And the Florida property itself has been the site of previous threats. During the 2024 election, Ryan Routh attempted to assassinate President Trump while he was golfing at his West Palm Beach club. Ryan was spotted aiming a rifle through shrubbery before Trump came into view and was later sentenced to life in prison.

That same year, Thomas Crooks fired eight shots during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, grazing the president’s ear and killing an attendee before being taken out by a Secret Service counter-sniper.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent weighed in on the latest Mar-a-Lago scare during an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” show. “This venom coming from the other side,” he said. “We don’t know whether this person was a mastermind, unhinged, or what, but they are normalizing this violence. It’s got to stop.”
