Hmm and she managed to get a security clearance as a foreign national that let her traipse around the Pentagon and State Dept. unescorted.
Pretty unprecedented for somebody not attached to an allied government who already possesses that clearance from home. She must have known somebody.

You are basically ignorant about the DOD and the State Department, where many people, with security clearances of many levels, high and low, work; where the location of “secure” work and/or the ability to access such work is strictly limited, not simply by security clearance but by the kind and level of work assigned and allowed to do.
Her position at the State Department is still a position paid by the World Bank, working with State Department people and programs that are either related to or coordinated with the economic development work shared by US programs and World Bank programs. She would never be in a location “unescorted” except where she is permitted to do the kind of work that she does; which does not require very great security and does not very great security access.
Just being in the building says nothing; if it did, then they’d have to shut both DOD and State Dept down, for all the lobbyists, lawyers and “officials”, foreign and domestic allowed in there with NO security clearance every day.
