Woman Claiming to Be Trump’s Wife Arrested Trying to Get Into Mar-a-Lago

Christy Renee Kimbrell said she had no ID and that she’d just changed her name after marrying the president.

A woman claiming to be married to President Donald Trump was arrested Tuesday after allegedly trying to breach Mar-a-Lago, according to the Palm Beach Police Department. Police said they received a call just after noon about an “unwanted guest” attempting to drop off a letter to the president at 1100 S. Ocean Blvd. When officers arrived, U.S. Secret Service agents told them the woman—identified as 49-year-old Christy Renee Kimbrell—had insisted she was Trump’s wife and wanted to see him. Officers said they immediately recognized Kimbrell from previous incidents at the resort. Asked for ID, she allegedly replied she had none but claimed her name was “Christy Renee Trump” and that she had recently changed it after marrying the president. A probable cause affidavit said Kimbrell had been issued a written trespass warning in May. On May 16, she allegedly repeatedly called Mar-a-Lago security and police seeking entry. Days later, she arrived at the Palm Beach Bath & Tennis Club via Uber, allegedly telling security Trump told her to “come back home.” Kimbrell was arrested Tuesday on a trespassing charge and taken into custody, police said.
