A woman carrying two Chinese passports and a device containing computer malware lied to Secret Service agents and briefly gained admission to President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club over the weekend during his Florida visit, federal prosecutors allege.
President Trump was at his Mar-a-Lago estate over the weekend when a Chinese woman briefly gained admission after lying to Secret Service agents, prosecutors say.
Yujing Zhang, 32, approached a Secret Service agent at a checkpoint outside the Palm Beach club early Saturday afternoon and said she was a member who wanted to use the pool, court documents said. She showed the passports as identification.Agents said she wasn’t on the membership list, but a club manager thought Zhang was the daughter of a member.
Agent Samuel Ivanovich wrote in court documents that Zhang told him she was there for the Chinese American event and had come early to familiarize herself with the club and take photos, again contradicting what she said at the checkpoint. She showed him an invitation in Chinese that he could not read.
There, he said, it became clear Zhang spoke and read English well. He said Zhang said she had traveled from Shanghai to attend the nonexistent Mar-a-Lago event on the invitation of an acquaintance named “Charles,” whom she only knew through a Chinese social media app. Ivanovich said she then denied telling the checkpoint agents she was a member wanting to swim.
