Alleged Chinese Mar-a-Lago intruder had thousands of dollars in cash, multiple sim cards and a device used to detect hidden cameras in her hotel room, prosecutors say.
country club, had in her hotel room thousands of dollars in cash, multiple sim cards and a device used to detect hidden cameras, prosecutors alleged Monday.
A public defender for Zhang, Robert Adler, pushed back in court against the idea Zhang was a spy and said she did not have the type of tools “associated with espionage activities” like lock-picking devices or Wi-Fi interception equipment.An entranceway to President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort is seen on April 03, 2019, in West Palm Beach, Fla.
According to a criminal complaint filed against Zhang, at around noon on that Saturday, she appeared at a Secret Service checkpoint outside the president’s country club and presented two Chinese passports. There was some confusion over whether she was a relative of a club member, and Mar-a-Lago staff cleared her through the checkpoint, the complaint says., this one where she was screened by a magnetometer for weapons or explosives, before making her way to the club’s reception area.
The complaint said that when Zhang was detained she had other electronics on her, including four cell phones, a laptop and a thumb drive that the Secret Service said a preliminary analysis showed contained some kind of malware. James Mulvenon, a Chinese espionage expert, said the counter-surveillance equipment that prosecutors allege was found in Zhang’s hotel room make her “certainly more suspicious” as a potential counter-intelligence threat, but he said he was still skeptical of her connection to a professional espionage operation, considering what he called terrible tradecraft.
Former senior Department of Homeland Security official John Cohen, however, said the incident highlights a larger concern.
