Man got past Secret Service and entered Mar-a-Lago


Washington (CNN) A young man was screened by Secret Service agents and permitted to enter a restricted area of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club last fall, wandering to a common area for members, before being apprehended once agents realized he was neither a member nor a guest. His unlawful entry came during Trump's Thanksgiving holiday at his Florida property. The man, Mark Slattery Lindblom, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to "knowingly" entering and staying in a restricted area on Mar-a-Lago on November 23, 2018, the day after Thanksgiving, according to court filings. The filings say he entered entering Mar-a-Lago through a tunnel and remained at the resort until he was discovered by Secret Service agents. A US Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement that Lindblom had entered the property "after undergoing security screening for weapons and other dangerous items" by Secret Service personnel.
