CNN's Jake Tapper questioned one of Donald Trump's former lawyers about security issues at the former president's Florida resort.
She was found not guilty of trespassing by a jury, and argued that the language barrier meant she didn't understand when a security officer told her to leave the resort.
In March 2019, another Chinese woman, Yujing Zhang, also gained access to Mar-a-Lago despite not being a member of the resort.she was there to swim at the resort, she was allowed to enter as security thought she was the daughter of an existing member because she had the same surname. Zhang raised suspicions as she didn't have a swimming costume. She later changed her story and said she was there to attend a U.N. friendship event between the United States and China, despite evidence on her phone suggesting she knew the event had been canceled.
Zhang was carrying a total of four cellphones, a laptop and other electronic gear, promoting fears she could have been a spy. She was never charged with espionage, but later found guilty of trespassing and lying to Secret Service agents and deported.
Prosecutors haven't formally alleged that any foreign national had access to or viewed the materials at Mar-a-Lago. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in connection to the classified materials case, and accused Special CounselTrump's legal team has been contacted for comment via email.
