The man who breached security at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate Sunday was “fixated” on the Jeffrey Epstein files, believingthere was a “government cover-up” protecting his accomplices.
TMZ obtained a text message sent by Austin Tucker Martin, 21, to a co-worker on Feb. 15, 2026.
“I don’t know if you read up on the Epstein Files, but evil is real and unmistakable,” the text read.
“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,” Martin continued.
Sources who worked with Martin at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club in North Carolina said he was fixated on Epstein after the latest information was released.
Co-workers said he was disturbed by what he believed was a government cover-up and talked about powerful people “getting away with it.”
Martin also “regularly expressed support” for Trumpand, as recently as late last year, he believed Trump was a strong leader.
“I don’t know if you read up on the Epstein Files, but evil is real and unmistakable,” Martin said in the recent text messages. “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.”
