USSS denies report that man snuck past agents for selfie
In a now-deleted post on Instagram, this guy — JosephYoung9 — claimed he snuck past Secret Service agents at Mar-a-Lago and snapped a photo of himself, allegedly in Donald Trump’s study at the resort:

A spokeswoman for the USSS denied the report, however. From the NY Post:
Those reports are all false, Secret Service spokeswoman Catherine Milhoan told The Post on Sunday. No one got past the Secret Service.
Separately, a “Secret Service source” told TMZ that agents let guests into the study for some reason:
A Secret Service source tells us … guests and members were indeed allowed in the study where the pic was snapped. Trump has been at Mar-a-Lago all weekend.
Guests can just randomly walk around Mar-a-Lago when the president is there? Hopefully the Secret Service denial is legit, because the organization did have a pretty bad week:
