Trump, who often spends weekends at his resort, was at the White House when the breach occurred.

Investigators have not identified a motive.

Who was the armed man?

Martin was reported missing by his family after he vanished on Saturday.

He still lived with his parents in Cameron, N.C., and worked at nearby Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club.

His mother, Melissa Martin, even created a missing person poster for him, including his photo and a description of the silver Volkswagen he was likely driving.

Obsessed with Epstein files?

The 21-year-old has become “grown increasingly obsessed” with the files on late billionaire sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, according to TMZ.

The outlet obtained Feb. 15 texts shared with a co-worker, including one message that read: “I don’t know if you read: I don’t know if you read up on the Epstein Files, but evil is real and unmistakable. The best people like you and I can do is use what little influence we have. Tell other people about what you hear about the Epstein files and what the government is doing about it. Raise awareness.”

Sources who worked with Martin told TMZ that he had become “fixated” after the latest release of the files, with co-workers saying he was “deeply disturbed by what he believed was a government cover-up and often talked about powerful people ‘getting away with it.’”

Hated guns

Martin’s cousin, Braeden Fields, told WTVD that the man authorities say “raised the shotgun to a shooting position” was inexperienced with guns and didn’t like them.

“He doesn’t even know how to use a gun. He’s never used a gun,” Fields told the outlet.

“I’m a big hunter, and I’ve had him around guns all the time, and he’s never used one. He won’t, he don’t like them. He don’t like it, it hurts his ears,” Fields said, noting that the only gun his “quiet” cousin has used was a BB gun.

Trump supporter

The entire family are “big Trump supporters,” Fields said, adding, “All of us. Everybody.”

He did note that Martin “never really talked about … he didn’t want to get into politics.”

The investigation is ongoing

Authorities are working to compile a psychological profile.

When asked by reporters whether the man was previously known to law enforcement, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said, “not right now.”

The FBI asked residents who live near Mar-a-Lago to check their security footage for anything that could help investigators.

FBI Director Kash Patel wrote in an X post that the bureau would be “dedicating all necessary resources” to the investigation.
