FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A Chinese national arrested for bluffing her way onto U.S. President Donald Trump’s Florida resort went on trial acting as her own attorney on Monday, telling jurors in her brief opening statement, “I don’t believe I did anything wrong.”
Zhang - whose arrest at the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach in March while carrying multiple electronic devices sparked a probe as to whether she posed an intelligence threat - faces up to six years in federal prison if convicted. “You’re unprepared,” the judge answered. “The trial is going to get very sophisticated very quickly ... I strongly recommend step in as your lawyer today.”
According to Sherwin and testimony by two U.S. Secret Service agents, Zhang got through an initial Secret Service checkpoint by letting club security personnel believe she was related to an actual club member of the same name.
