WEST PALM BEACH, Florida – While pundits speculate, law enforcement agencies appear to be planning beefed up security around Mar-a-Lago in the event former President Donald Trump announces a political comeback campaign, The Palm Beach Post has learned.

The U.S. Secret Service on Tuesday morning called a meeting with local law enforcement officials at Mar-a-Lago — Trump's part-time home and private club on Palm Beach — to discuss security arrangements in case Trump enters the 2024 presidential race, said a source who attended the meeting. It was believed to be the second such meeting to discuss the subject.
