Federal prosecutors disclosed this week they are developing a potential national security case against Yujing Zhang, the 33-year-old Chinese woman charged with unlawfully entering Mar-a-Lago with a stash of electronic equipment.
They asked a federal judge to allow them to file classified information under seal without the public or the defendant seeing it. If the motion is granted, prosecutors will present the evidence directly to the federal judge in Zhangs trespassing case during a private, closed meeting in the judges chambers.
The prosecutions motion indicates that she is a focus of a widening U.S. probe of possible Chinese espionage and suggests that authorities have evidence she was likely not simply a bumbling tourist who accidentally found her way into President Donald Trumps private estate in Palm Beach.
The motion by a counterintelligence prosecutor with the U.S. Attorneys Office suggests that authorities have relevant classified evidence that could pose a risk to national security should anyone including Zhang ever see it.

(35,317 posts)classified information follows. It's not a new thing. When Bush was clearing brush in Texas, there was a portion of the house retrofitted with some sophisticated communications and security gear so it could function as the "western white house" because if anything happens, the president needs to have access to the same extent and kind of information that he'd have in DC.
