Intruder claims divine mission at Mar‑a-Lago, prompting Secret Service response
A 23-year-old man was apprehended by Secret Service agents after breaking into Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, claiming he was sent on a divine mission to preach to the former president and marry his granddaughter.
The incident unfolded just after midnight between Monday and Tuesday, when police were alerted to a trespasser at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. By the time officers arrived, Secret Service agents had already apprehended the intruder.
Following his arrest, the 23-year-old told authorities he had entered Mar-a-Lago to "spread the gospel" to Donald Trump and "marry Kai," the former president’s 18-year-old granddaughter.

This wasn’t the 23-year-old’s first attempt to breach Mar-a-Lago. Originally from Texas, he had previously trespassed on the property in December.
At the time, he was briefly held in custody at the Palm Beach County jail. A restraining order was also issued, barring him from any contact with Donald Trump and his family members, including Kai Trump.
