A Chinese businesswoman knew an event she planned to attend at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club had been canceled, but she still wanted to get onto the property and lied to Secret Service agents repeatedly to make that happen, a federal prosecutor told jurors
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Chinese businesswoman knew an event she planned to attend at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club had been canceled, but she still wanted to get onto the property and lied to Secret Service agents repeatedly to make that happen, a federal prosecutor told jurors during closing arguments Tuesday.
During testimony earlier Tuesday, FBI linguist Catherine Chang testified that text and voice messages found on Zhang's phone showed she signed a contract for the trip with a Chinese company in February to attend a March 30 event at Mar-a-Lago and get a photo with the president or a Trump family member. Such events have been organized by Chinese groups during the president's term and the photos are seen as a way to advance one's career.
Story continuesGrumaz said Zhang tried to walk past her desk without stopping, but she called her over before she could enter another room. She said Zhang told her she was there for the Chinese-American friendship event. Grumaz said because no such event was scheduled, she alerted Secret Service agent Sam Ivanovich.
He said Zhang eventually became aggressive as agents examined her cellphone and she was taken to the Secret Service's West Palm Beach office.
