Chinese woman arrested at Mar-a-Lago while Trump was in town (Spy?)
Palm Beach Post ^ | 4-2-2019 | Jane Musgrave

A 32-year-old Chinese woman, who said she wanted to talk to President Trump’s family about economic relations between the United States and her home country, lied her way into Mar-a-Lago over the weekend before she was arrested, U.S. Secret Service agents said.

Yujing Zhang, who said she was sent by a fellow Chinese national named Charles, was charged with making false statements to a federal officer and entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds. She appeared in U.S. District Court on Monday and a public defender was appointed to represent her.

She is to return to court next week for a hearing to determine whether she will be released from custody. If convicted, she faces a maximum five-year prison sentence.

Agents said they seized four cell phones, a laptop computer, an external hard drive and a thumb drive from Zhang. An examination of the thumb drive showed it contained malicious malware, agents said SNIP

Stopped at a security checkpoint across from Mar-a-Lago at about noon Saturday, Zhang initially told agents that she wanted to use the pool at the club, agents wrote. She presented the agents with two passports from the Republic of China to confirm her identity, they said.

A manager at the club thought Zhang was related to a club member who shared the same last name and cleared her to come in. But when Zhang got to the reception desk, she changed her story, agents said.

Instead of visiting the pool, Zhang said she had come to the club to attend a United Nations Chinese American Association event. Knowing there was no such event planned, the receptionist summoned federal agents.

This happened during Trump's Mara Lago visit this weekend, and has Chinese Spy Infiltration attempt written all over it....

This could spin a whole new theory about Robert Craft's arrest, and the others involved in that charade, as well.

I wonder which Democrat put her up to it?

She could also simply be a mentally ill person with grandiose delusions.

It’s like being approached at the Kuala Lumpur airport.

The Miami Herald notes that she is close to the Chinese woman that owns/owned the massage parlors that Kraft was busted in.

The spy story could just be to cover she WAS actually friends with the massage parlor. So could the spyware claim.
She might have something she wants trump to see.
I always question a news story nowadays. What are they hiding.

I could agree with you, and it seems stupidly obvious to send a Chinese national as a Chinese spy.

But two passports, four cell phones, and a thumb drive with malware on it?

Why is everyone here at FR always assuming the worst? This Chinese "spy" might just be one of Sen. Feinstein's limo drivers.

A plant? Don’t doubt anything outlandish anymore! How in the heck did she get in? SS guards working against the president? Was she a decoy used by someone else to sneak in and bug his hotel? NOTHING should be in doubt...NOTHING!! Don’t trust NOBODY from the swamp!!

She got past the Secret Service but she didn’t get past that woman Trump had hired. I have to wonder if this is something that has happened before with other presidents?

Very bizarre. She sounds like a nutcase/stalker who did this on her own, but then again, maybe she was put put to it by somebody.

It mentioned “Republic of China” which would be Taiwan, not communist China. Perhaps the writer is in error. Perhaps not.
