A trespassing incident earlier this year led to the arrest of Yujing Zhang. She was accused of lying to Secret Service agents to gain access to the club. Authorities said Zhang had various electronic equipment, including a device to detect security cameras.
She was convicted and at her sentencing the 33-year-old Chinese woman told Judge Roy Altman she went to Mar A Lago last March to meet the president and his family to “make friends.”
The judge sentenced her to 8 months for being at Mar A Lago Illegally and lying to the Secret Service.
