Chinese woman sentenced to 8 months for trespassing at Trump resort
None
A federal judge sentenced on Monday a Chinese businesswoman to eight months in prison for trespassing at U.S. President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida and lying to Secret Service agents.
U.S. District Judge Roy Altman also ordered that 33-year-old Yujing Zhang be turned over to immigration officials for deportation upon her release. Because she received nearly eight months' credit for being jailed since her arrest March 30, she has about a week more to serve. Sentencing guidelines called for a sentence of zero to six months, but the law allowed for up to six years.
Altman said trespassing on a government property, particularly one where the president is staying, is a "serious offense." He also said "the evidence was overwhelming" that Zhang lied to Secret Service agents to get into Mar-a-Lago and when they confronted her.
