Yujing Zhang was sentenced to 8 months in prison and ordered to be deported for trespassing at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago club carrying a number of electronics.
That brought in the Secret Service, which said that when agents detained her, Zhang was carrying four cellphones, a laptop computer, a hard drive and a thumb drive.
President Donald Trump was in town when Yujing Zhang showed up at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, but he was off the premises golfing.Initial court documents said the thumb drive was found to contain"malicious malware," but prosecutors said later that that may have been a false positive. Either way, prosecutors said, Zhang was determined to see Trump, who was in town at the time but was out golfing when she showed up.
The full story remains unclear, because prosecutors filed secret evidence under seal, saying it had national security implications. Judge Roy Altman wrote in court papers that releasing the evidence could cause serious damage to the country.The trial, itself, was at times bizarre. Zhang fired her attorneys in June and represented herself, much to the annoyance of Altman.
And jury selection had to be halted briefly when Zhang showed up in court wearing brown jail clothing, even though defendants generally wear civilian clothing so prospective jurors aren't prejudiced against them.
