‘She Lies to Everyone’: Chinese Woman Arrested at Mar-a-Lago Appears in Court
Prosecutors revealed they found high-tech equipment in her hotel room and a thumb drive on her person during her arrest that automatically installed malware on an agent’s computer when tested.
“She lies to everyone she encounters,” Assistant US Attorney Rolando Garcia said in a Florida federal court detention hearing Monday, according to the Washington Post. “The present charges have no allegation that she’s a spy or this is espionage, or whatever.. . . There are a whole lot of questions that remain to be answered. But at this point in time, that’s not part of our allegation.”
Zhang is charged only with lying to Secret Service agents and entering restricted space, although those charges carry substantial financial penalties and jail time. Prosecutors indicated Monday they intend to file a formal indictment later this week.
The Chinese Consulate General in Houston, Texas, has extended Zhang an offer of consulary assistance, Sputnik reported.
During the hearing, prosecutors presented more of their findings, arguing Zhang, 32, presented a flight risk and shouldn’t be granted bond. The judge concurred, and the Chinese national will remain in jail until a hearing next Monday, according to the Miami Herald.
Yujing Zhang Is High Tech
Why would an ordinary Chinese national carries 9 thumb drives installed with malware and a special device that can detect hidden cameras?
Prosecutors said a search of Zhang’s hotel room turned up nine thumb drives, five SIM cards, $7,620 in US dollars and $663 worth of Chinese yuan, several credit and debit cards and, most suspicious of all, a special device that can detect hidden cameras in a room. That’s in addition to the laptop, external hard drive, four phones and a thumb drive believed to carry “malicious” software on it that she was found carrying upon arrest.
On March 30, Zhang bluffed her way past security at the Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, which is owned by Trump. While the president was on the grounds at the time, it seems the two never crossed paths. Zhang was eventually apprehended by Secret Service personnel after a receptionist caught on and realized her story didn’t line up.
When she was apprehended, she had on her person a thumb drive that appeared to contain malware, as well as numerous passports and several electronic devices, Sputnik reported. http://scandalshack.com/is-mar-a-lago-chinese-espionage-suspect-a-high-tech-spy-or-a-high-class-hooker/
