Mar-a-Lago mystery Chinese malware lady to stay in jail for another week

COURT SKETCH: WILLIAM HENNESSY. Yujing Zhang, the Chinese woman who was arrested for illegally entering the president's Mar-a-Lago resort, appeared in court Monday.

Yujing Zhang was arrested in March for lying to Secret Service agents at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, to gain access to the private club. According to investigators, the 32-year-old Chinese national had malware on her person, and behaved more like a bumbling spy than anything else. So who is she?

Looks like we're about to find out.

Yujing Zhang appeared in West Palm Beach court, after having been arrested March 30 for illegally entering Trumps resort and lying to a Secret Service agent, reports Jonathan Levin at Bloomberg News. She may be formally indicted as early as this week, prosecutors said.

According to the feds, at the moment she was caught lying to Secret Service agents in March, Yujing Zhang was carrying on her person:

Two Chinese passports Four (4!) cellphones One laptop One external hard drive One USB thumb drive containing malware. She had no swimsuit.The Secret Service agents apparently believed her. She briefly gained access to the club during the President's visit there that weekend.

Excerpt from the new Bloomberg story:

In addition to the electronics she carried into the resort, Zhang also had a signal detector, five SIM cards and more than $7,600 in U.S. currency in her room at the Colony Palm Beach hotel, about two miles north of Mar-a-Lago, Garcia said.
