President Trump said Thursday that the security breach at his Mar-a-Lago club this week was “just a fluke,” The Washington Post reports. When asked if he was concerned with China possibly conducting espionage against the U.S. by spying on his club, Trump said, “No, I'm not concerned at all...No, I think that was just a fluke situation.” The Secret Service arrested a woman carrying two foreign passports, four cell phones, and a thumb drive infected with malware after she allegedly lied her way past security Tuesday at the Palm Beach club in Florida. A criminal complaint filed in federal court in Florida alleges that Yujing Zhang made up several excuses to get past security, including by claiming that a friend suggested she travel from Shanghai to Palm Beach to speak with a member of the Trump family about Chinese-American economic relations.
