A thumb drive obtained from the woman charged with breaching security at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort may not have contained malware after all, federal prosecutors admitted in federal court
West Palm Beach, Florida A thumb drive obtained from the woman charged with breaching security at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort may not have contained malware after all, federal prosecutors admitted in federal court Monday.
Yujing Zhang, 33, is charged with unlawfully entering a restricted zone and lying to Secret Service agents. After her arrest, court filings alleged that she was carrying a thumb drive with malware, but it may have actually been a"false positive."Prosecutor Rolando Garcia said that when they ran the same test again, it did not produce the same result. They've since sent the device to Washington for further analyses, according to Garcia.
