The Chinese national Yujing Zhang's hearing in a Florida federal courthouse Monday afternoon highlighted missteps by the Secret Service at virtually the same time news broke that the Secret Service director was being fired.
In all, it amounted to a bumpy afternoon for the agency that protects the President.As word spread Monday that Secret Service director Randolph"Tex" Alles was leaving, a Secret Service agent took the stand to testify about the woman who had allegedly gained unauthorized access to President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club on March 30 and could be engaged in a spying operation. Zhang faces two criminal charges, for lying and for entering the restricted grounds while Trump was there.
The room where she was interviewed didn't have that capability. Audio recording capability, the agent had thought, was a standard practice in Secret Service offices.
