A Chinese citizen has tried to enter Mar-a-Lago multiple times in an effort to speak with President-elect Trump, Florida authorities said.
A Chinese citizen who tried to enter Mar-a-Lago, the Florida residence of President-elect Trump, multiple times over the past few months was arrested Thursday, authorities said. It was one of multiple attempts by Zijie Li, 39, to enter the Palm Beach club in an effort to speak with Trump, according to an arrest affidavit. He faces a second trespass charge after being issued a warning, in addition to a pending charge he received in July.
He told a Secret Service agent that he had information suggesting China was involved in the first assassination attempt against Trump and wanted to leave documents with them. Local police issued him a trespass warning. Trump was not home at the time and was in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention. Li visited Palm Beach at least four more times after the incident and drove up to the north checkpoint but didn't attempt to enter Mar-a-Lago, the affidavit said.
