Police have responded to a trespassing call at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
Palm Beach Police said they received a call about a person at the former president's residence Thursday morning.
According to WBPF reporter Jossie Carbonare, Palm Beach Police units were parked outside the back of the resort but have since left.
Secret Service agents were said to be conducting a sweep of the area of the house and the grounds.
In a statement to Newsweek, a Palm Beach Police spokesperson said: "At 08:08 hours, local time, we received a complaint of a male refusing to leave the property.
"We responded, issued a written warning for trespass, and the subject left the area. This was a routine trespass complaint from our department."
It is unclear if Trump was at Mar-a-Lago at the time of the call. On Thursday morning, Trump sent out several statements from his Save America PAC endorsing a number of Republican candidates ahead of the November 8 midterm elections.
Newsweek has reached out to the Palm Beach Police for comment and a confirmation of the trespassing report.
Mar-a-Lago has been the focus of worldwide attention in recent months after the FBI carried out a raid at the property in order to retrieve classified documents that were allegedly kept there by Trump.
The former president has been accused of allegedly mishandling top secret documents which were removed from the White House when he left office in January 2021 and kept at his Florida home.
Trump and his legal team are also alleged to have hampered federal attempts to retrieve the documents. Trump has denied all wrongdoing in connection to the investigation, including making disputed claims he declassified all the materials that were recovered at Mar-a-Lago during the raid.
The alleged trespassing incident occurred just days after Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was attacked at his San Francisco home with a hammer.
Paul Pelosi suffered a skull fracture and serious injuries to his right arm and hands during the attack.
The alleged assailant, David DePape, plead not guilty to charges including attempted murder, burglary, assault and false imprisonment during his arraignment in San Francisco Superior Court on Tuesday.
In an October 31 statement, Nancy Pelosi, who was in Washington, D.C. at the time of the attack, said: "Since the horrific attack on Paul early Friday, we have been deluged with thousands of messages conveying concern, prayers and warm wishes. We are most grateful.
"Thanks to the excellent trauma care medical team at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, Paul is making steady progress on what will be a long recovery process.
"Our family thanks everyone for their kindness."
