Overview
- Palm Beach police responded just after noon on Sept. 16 to Mar-a-Lago’s address after a call about an unwanted guest seeking to drop off a letter to the president.
- A Secret Service agent identified the visitor as Christy Renee Kimbrell, 49, who said she had no ID and claimed she had changed her name to “Christy Renee Trump” after marrying the president.
- Court records show Kimbrell was issued a written trespass warning in May after repeated contacts and appearances, including arriving by Uber at the nearby Bath & Tennis Club and asserting she was returning home at the president’s request.
- Kimbrell was arrested on a misdemeanor trespassing charge and booked into the Palm Beach County Jail, with a newspaper reporting she remains in custody.
- Mar-a-Lago operates within a federally designated security zone under multiagency law enforcement oversight, including the U.S. Secret Service.
