By Lori Rozsa and Devlin Barrett Devlin Barrett Reporter focusing on national security and law enforcement Email Bio Follow April 8 at 2:13 PM WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A Chinese woman charged with lying to get past security at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club appeared in court Monday, where prosecutors argued she was so untrustworthy she should remain in jail while authorities continue to investigate her.
A subsequent search of Zhang’s hotel room turned up more that alarmed investigators: nine thumb drives, five SIM cards for cellphones, about $8,000 in cash, several credit and debit cards, and a device used to detect hidden cameras, officials said.At a detention hearing in federal court to determine whether she should be released on bond pending her trial, prosecutors described her in blunt, harsh terms.
Two days later, Zhang allegedly approached a Mar-a-Lago security checkpoint and told security officials she was there to go to the swimming pool.
