A woman carrying Chinese passports was arrested after entering Mar-a-Lago with thumb drive containing malware, court documents say

By Devlin Barrett Devlin Barrett Reporter focusing on national security and law enforcement Email Bio Follow April 2 at 4:36 PM Secret Service agents arrested a woman at President Trump’s Florida resort this past weekend after she was found carrying two Chinese passports and a thumb drive with malicious software on it, according to court documents.

Once inside the grounds, Zhang allegedly told a receptionist that she was there for a United Nations event scheduled for later in the day about Chinese-American relations. No such event was on the schedule, so the receptionist called the Secret Service, according to court papers.

When Trump had the House they dried to destroy Obamacare and through millions without health care insurance. What makes one think GOP will let down millions of dollars of kickback from Insurance and pharmaceutical companies.

Freedomchimes THIS RIGHT HERE IS IMPORTANT.

So, this needs some SERIOUS ATTENTION! This government’s security apparatuses will be irreparably set back in ways we can only contemplate right now! And will Trump adjust his behavior Accordingly?!(doubtful). And who’d she “know on the inside?” Other members, staff? This is big!

The blasé way this individual cruises on by the guards ? Tells us all, it as business as usual, in this Administration. Corruption Inc.

I heard she tricked some of the secret service by saying “Very busy. Delivery room 102?! Poohrk Friie Rice!”

Is this really a threat? realDonaldTrump does not know how to use a computer, does he?

It puts the lotion on the toadstool.....

At least she left her lambo behind for my friend

Drumpf is really done for now.

The criminal complaint says she was carrying Republic of China (Taiwan) passports. Please correct this tweet.

And moron uses an unsecured phone? But her emails......

Sad that you could see something this flat out stupid coming. With access to the orange Jabba the Hutt being sold by his crime family like peanuts at a circus. This is a huge security breach and ignorance bordering on treasonous.

Maybe it time to end Trumps little party at Mar-a-Lago, it’s obviously a security risk. Malania will just have to figure out how to get some rest at the White House. Tragic.

* Trump spends almost every weekend vacationing at Mar-a-lago * It costs 3 million per day in security & travel * 2 days/weekend = $6 million * 52 weekends in a year * = $312,000,000 per year * 4 years of presidency: ~$1.3 billion

Fahrenthold I can only imagine how many subversive people actually slipped into Mar a largo without getting caught.

There are spies among us. Think Bernie and AOC. Any politico not willing to secure the boarders of United States should be considered part of the opposition. Our southern boarder is under assault due to the instability of nations in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s no accident.

Why are ALL of these people hanging out at Mar-a-Lago partying with Trump in the first place! WTF!

Nothing but the best people!

She has how many passports?

What could possibly go wrong?...

It's a sad comment on the state of Russo-Chinese cooperation that the Chinese intelligence services have to install their own malware in Mar-a-Lago.

DrDinD Sigh.

Silly China, if you had sent an illegal mexican immigrant with no passport, everyone would have assumed she worked there.

trump's own employee let the spy in. He says he's hard on immigration but lets spies wander into his golf club?!!!

Why do the Republicans keep endangering our country

mtnbvan And you STOPPED her? Just kidding....

More fake news or wishful thinking?

I just got it ... Mar-A-Lago was named for Marlamaples !!!

Fahrenthold Oh hey, that's normal. Nothing to see here.

Yet another national security risk from the POTUS himself. Trump’s only allegiance is money and it’s literally killing US. Security threats need to be forcibly removed and tried.

The Chinese are stealing from the all knowing supreme ayatollah trump😩 journalist are becoming groupies of politicians.

She agreed to hand over the thumb drive and work for Trump’s reelection campaign.

Can you imagine if someone did stop her .it would be Discrimination.or a raceist move by the president. Good lord it's Trump's fault a woman broke on his property. What a joke.

Why they do this physically with a person when they can do it remotely. That was a distraction not the crime. Media is so bad...

🤦‍♀️

Ivanka?

But her emails

Was she employed by Diane Feinstein?

'Chinese friend' = Obama

So much blackmail on the Trump’s & the Republican Party. It’s fucking ridiculous

10 bucks Miller called em to fix the Huawei home automation system

Of course this happened

You don’t fucking say!?

Fahrenthold Third rate burglary?

n69n Have to de-bug the place I guess.. maybe make it into a homeless shelter.

openargs Yodel time

Trump is 99% malware! (The other 1% is oily excretions and tanning spray residue)

sounds about right for trump

Is her name Patsy?

did she have a massage table

maddow please report on this.

But she’s been doing that for years ... why arrest her now ?

I fucking knew it

Fahrenthold This is JUST WOW!

Ummm.... hope they’re looking into human trafficking! Take the woman’s passport, take away her ability to leave! People make me sick!

That club will admit anyone.

Not suspicious at all...

PrincessBravato Did trump invite her😏

Good thing Republicans cut funding for cyber security.

Maybe she’s one of Cindy Yangs girls and just got caught this time....just sayin’

Malware. Heading for Mar-a-Lago. Trumps who don’t use secure equipment for sensitive info. Malware that could erase all that pesky information. After the Chinese woman was selling access to Trump. Nah, that’s just coincidence.

Sydney Bristow would never

Hey GOP is this cool with you?

She was just there to update the back channel. Surely the Secret Service doesn’t expect Trump to be able to do that.

Shocking.

United States of Banana

Fahrenthold

One can't trust the internet anymore. She had to travel from China to hand deliver the malware!

Oh great, just when you thought things couldn't get any worse. This administration is totally incompetent in regards to National Security. Granting suspicious security clearances, unprotected cell phones & texting. Russians in the Oval Office, Chinese in Mar-a-Lago unfettered.

Simple misunderstanding. realDonaldTrump was told a Chinese woman would have a 'thumb drive' for him and he thought it was sexual favor, that's all.

But her emails?

Making contact with the TrumpCrimeFamily? Is the woman part of the TrumpCrimeSyndicate? This is why the White House security clearance fiasco is of concern to the American people. How involved is the Trump family in nefarious activities with foreign countries?

Someone said trump sent her

Did it have Hillary’s emails on it?

Infiltration by Chinese & Russian operatives into US Defense Contractors & Government Facility servers is a huge, ongoing problem. Sometimes operatives leave a handful of thumb drives in a lobby in hopes that lax employees will pick one up and plug one into their work computer...

Fahrenthold Is she part of the SPA

Now, that’s interesting.....

Close down Mar-a-lago! It’s an ongoing crime scene!

Fahrenthold What could go wrong?

? Timing in relation to story about poor security?

mtnbvan Must be another employee of Pelosi.

VD Donnie would have noticed this. He knows all about IT. Great IT brain. Unless she said, 'A gift from President Xi.'

NO COLLUSION with Russia but COLLUSION and CONSPIRACY with CHINA🇨🇳

Don’t worry, he’ll be back next weekend to pick it up

Fahrenthold if *this* does not set off every RED ALERT alarm our nation should have regarding our security involving trump's own properties, Jebus we are doomed.

queen

Fahrenthold Putting national security at risk every day to own the libs

Fahrenthold Why didn’t she just join and have Trump give whatever she wanted?

Here we go, a new narrative... 'Trump is colluding with China Now'

Sounds like she was trying to clean up the place.

Fahrenthold but if we had visitor logs at Mar a Lago how would Trump secret prostitutes in and out? one of Kraft's rub and tug gals?

Fahrenthold Holy shit

Trump probably invited her in.

CNN going to turn this into 2 years of Chinese collusion stories..

JuliaHB1 Urrgh!!!

Bet there are 'bugs' planted all over that place. Trump is dumber than a bag of rocks, and more dangerous than a cocked gun.

Pretty sure thats a money laundering operation or some criminal hideout at this point

Good thing sensitive government business isn’t done at a golf resort

Twitter reacts to Betsy DeVos' proposed budget cuts to Special Olympics: 'Betsy DeVoid of basic human empathy''The Special Olympics cost around $18 million, or about the same as five of Trump's golf trips to Mar-a-Lago,' Nick Jack Pappas tweeted. 'It's not a difficult decision. It's an evil one.' We shall reach our goal, when we have the power to laugh as we destroy, as we smash, whatever was sacred to us as tradition, as education, and as human affection. Inclusion seems to be an unknown quantity to this Administration Like Secretary Amway cares. It’s DeVos (in her billionaire bubble) and the privatization posse doing one more thing to weaken publicly-funded programs related to education/well-being.
