FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) The upcoming trial of a Chinese national on federal charges that she trespassed at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort and lied to the Secret Service is potentially a circus wrapped in mystery.
Rejecting the strong recommendation of U.S. District Judge Roy Altman, Yujing Zhang fired her public defenders in June to act as her own attorney - a longshot move the 33-year-old Shanghai business consultant has struggled with during pretrial hearings setting up Monday's scheduled jury selection.
Zhang often frustrates Altman by ignoring his questions or answering with non sequiturs. At times she replies in near-fluent English and insists she understands complex legal concepts, but will then say she doesn't understand a simple question and turns to her Mandarin translator.

Spy or Lunatic ?
Clearly a spy - China doesn’t sent over lunatics
She’s a spy allright....and needs to be executed!
SPY!! She was at Mar-a-Lago to do HARM!!
No doubt she’s been put through the wringer a few times while in custody.
Heres a drawing from a better artist.
Hopefully , before she is shot she will experience a no-holds-barred “interrogation .
A federal charge of tresspass seems trivial and not worth a show trial that is a propaganda engine
I recently worked with an engineer- this man from China and he did the same thing when Id ask him a simple question about thermochemistry. The man was a complete fraud based on his games playing and he would go from claiming he didnt understand the question, to accusing me of making up nonsense. I hauled his ass into the managers office and made my case with an HR rep present.
The Chinese man finished the day and never returned. 👍🏼
Just wacky. The real question is, will she have enough donors and poll % to qualify for the next Democrat debate. She can have a secret language exchange with Joe Biden on stage.
Same with the hispanic employees I supervised. Monday through Thursday, couldn’t speak a word of English. Friday, they were beating down the door hollering in perfect English they wanted their paychecks before 5 pm.
Spy and a lunatic who backs China 100%...just a very sly lunatic ala the average Dem/Dem supporter...
The Mexicans here . . . I ask them : why dont you just do direct deposit and you wont have to stand in line - plus, youll get the money on Thursday instead of Friday Freaking illegals cant open an account cuz they got no ID - but its racist to ask them for it to vote?
