JUST IN: Yujing Zhang, the Chinese woman detained in March for trespassing at Mar-a-Lago, found guilty of lying to federal agents and entering a restricted area.
Yujing Zhang, the Chinese woman detained in March for trespassing at Mar-a-Lago -- President Donald Trump's Florida country club -- was found guilty of lying to federal agents and for entering a restricted area.
On March 30, she was mistakenly allowed in by Mar-a-Lago staff. In addition to the purported trespassing, prosecutors alleged that she lied to Secret Service officers as she was let through the checkpoints. She was only discovered when a receptionist realized her name was not on the access list for the club.
When Zhang was detained, investigators said they found several electronic devices on her and in her room at a local hotel, purportedly including a device to detect hidden cameras. Early on, prosecutors suggested Zhang was being investigated for potential links to espionage, but no further charges have been brought.
