    Nope. It appears that they asked him to leave and that he did (given that they arrested him from the public area).

    Oh so it is legal to trespass as long as you leave when they ask you to.......I'm not sure that is how it happened but even if it is he was in the wrong trespassing in the first place.

    You voted for a convicted felon who says he doesn't know if he needs to uphold the constitution.

    That is not how it happened. He was trespassing and refused to leave after being asked a number of times. Then when they were fed up they decided to arrest him at which time he left and was arrested in the public area. Guess he thought he could do whatever he wants and then erase it all by leaving.

    Actually, often, yes. Without an explicit prior directive not to enter the property, it likely isn't trespassing. That is why you can't have a person arrested for accidentally knocking on your door unless they refuse to leave your property.

    They were admitting a group of people from his group. He came with the group. When asked to leave, it appears that he did (although the government is claiming otherwise, the fact that he was arrested from a public area seems to be evidence that he did).
