A woman carrying two Chinese passports and a device containing computer malware lied to Secret Service agents and briefly gained admission to President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club over the weekend during his Florida visit, federal prosecutors allege in court documents.

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 say she wasn’t on the membership list, but a club manager thought Zhang was the daughter of a member. Agents say that when they asked Zhang if the member was her father, she did not answer definitively but they thought it might be a language barrier and admitted her.

Zhang’s story changed when she got inside, agents say, telling a front desk receptionist she was there to attend the United Nations Chinese American Association event scheduled for that evening. No such event was scheduled and agents were summoned.

Ivanovich said Zhang carried four cellphones, a laptop computer, an external hard drive and a thumb drive containing computer malware. She did not have a swimsuit.

Zhang is charged with making false statements to federal agents and illegally entering a restricted area.

GITMO now

[treetopsandroofs]

At least the local elected domestic enemies won’t praise her and drop charges.

[wally_bert]

They all had McAfee products?

[thesharkboy]

She sounds qualified to be in charge of IT for the Democrats.

[MeganC]

This is just an example of China waging war by other means.

But make no mistake; this is a war.

[frank ballenger]

Yes, Gitmo. Make it emphatic.

Otherwise if you detain and arrest a Chinese agent now you’ll just feel like doing it again in a half hour.

[SecondAmendment]

Close the border now !

[Innovative]

Lock her up.

Tell the Chinese gov. that they either behave honorably or no deal.

[Lent]

Chinese obviously looking to get info to blackmail the President.

[Capt. Tom]

There is no indication Zhang was ever near the president. There is also no indication that she is connected to Li Yang, a Chinese native, Republican donor and former Florida massage parlor owner. Yang recently made news after it was learned she was promising Chinese business leaders that her consulting firm could get them access to Mar-a-Lago, where they could mingle with the president.

I think Nadler and Shiff should investigate this Chinese connection.
. And investigate Bob Kraft, Trump's friend.- Tom

This really should be in Breaking because this is huge, regardless of whether she was a Chinese spy or a swamp thing.

[mass55th]

Did she work for Diane Feinstein?

[Secret Agent Man]

We used to execute spies.

Especially one going after an american president.

I wonder if the uniparty hired her.

[rdl6989]

Your screen name is very fitting for this discussion. I agree the stench of swamp water is strong here.

[vannrox]

It sure sounds like she was up to no good. Generally, I think people deserve to be treated innocently, but this is too suspicious.

I am sure that there is an inherent bias in the article, never the less, there is something odd going on, and this entire episode needs to be investigated.

California Racket Club? That’s my club, too.

Well, I don’t formally belong. I’m a guest of my aunt. Mrs. Smith.

Joan or Margaret?

Uhh-huh, yeah, right.

Well, which one?

Margaret?

Funny old bird.

Boy is she ever.

[ImNotLying]

Comey is involved in this somehow

[Chewbarkah]

I wonder if whipping out multiple passports aroused suspicion...

[Terry Mross]

Lie to the SS. Come on in!
