(The Guardian) Mar-a-Lago intruder found guilty of lying to FBI
A Chinese woman who was arrested at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida club, earlier this year was found guilty of lying to a Secret Service agent and trespassing.
NBC News reports on the bizarre trial: Jurors handed down the verdict against Yujing Zhang on Wednesday.
Zhang was arrested on March 30 after she allegedly told a Secret Service agent guarding Mar-a-Lago that she was there to use the pool. Once inside the posh Palm Beach resort she told a receptionist she was there to take pictures for a United Nations friendship event. Prosecutors said Zhang knew that the event had been canceled.
The trial had several twists and turns. The 33-year-old consultant from Shanghai fired her public defenders in June and chose to represent herself, a decision Judge Roy Altman did not like. He tried several times during the trial to convince Zhang to let her public defenders try the case but she refused. ...
She was charged with unlawful entry of restricted buildings and grounds and false statements and was convicted on both counts.
