WASHINGTON - Congressional Democrats raised questions on Wednesday about security at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida after a Chinese woman carrying electronic devices bluffed her way through security checks last weekend.
In the Senate, three leading Democrats asked FBI Director Christopher Wray and the Director of National Intelligence to look into issues raised by the incident. When she became aggressive under questioning, she was detained by the Secret Service and later charged with making false statements and entering a restricted area.
“The apparent ease with which Ms. Zhang gained access to the facility during the president’s weekend visit raises concerns about the system for screening visitors, including the reliance on determinations made by Mar-a-Lago employees,” the senators wrote, suggesting Zhang’s success in getting inside the compound had “serious national security implications.”
