  • The Trump campaign is looking into increasing security at Mar-a-Lago.

  • The security at Mar-a-Lago is under scrutiny.

  • Trump said security at the resort is strong.

Donald Trump said Thursday that security at his Mar-a-Lago resort is "strong", refuting reports that staff had beefed up security due to the visit of West.

"We have very strong security, especially with the extremely talented Secret Service Agents on premises, but when I know someone, as I did Ye, we're not going to have my guests strip searched, thrown against walls, and otherwise physically beaten," Trump said.

The former president met with West and other people at his club in Florida.

Ye, who was the only one on the guest list, arrived at Mar-a-Lago with several other people.

The driver of the car transporting the group was waved into the resort after showing a credit card instead of a driver's license.

The dinner resulted in stinging criticism from fellow Republicans, as well as new security measures being introduced by the Trump campaign.

Sources told the AP that in order to prevent a repeat, Trump's campaign was putting in place new protocols whereby a campaign official would accompany Trump at all times, and all visitors would be thoroughly screened before meeting him.

There are no anonymous sources. There are stories that are not true. The president responded to reports of increased security at Mar-a-Lago.

There are security concerns at the club.

Trump held sensitive foreign policy discussions with Abe in front of other guests at the club.

A Chinese woman came into the club two years later with a device for detecting hidden cameras.

She entered the club because the name on her passport partially matched that of a club member.
