A woman carrying two Chinese passports illegally entered President Donald 
Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Saturday and lied to a Secret 
Service agent, according to U.S. authorities.

The suspect, Yujing Zhang, also had four mobile phones, a laptop computer, an 
external hard drive and a thumb drive found to contain malware, a Secret 
Service agent said in an affidavit filed in support of the charges against her. 
The passports were from China, not "Republic of China" -- the formal name of 
Taiwan -- as was written in the affidavit, said Marlene Fernandez-Karavetsos, a 
spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida.

Zhang appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge William Matthewman Monday, 
according to the court’s electronic docket. He scheduled a bail hearing for 
April 8 and her arraignment for one week later. She remains in federal custody.

Passing signs informing her that she was entering a Secret Service-restricted 
area, Zhang told the first agent she met that she was headed to the Mar-a-Lago 
pool, presenting her passports as proof of identity, according to the affidavit 
submitted by Secret Service Special Agent Samuel Ivanovich.
