FBI/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump on Wednesday [4-3-19] dismissed a recent alleged breach of his Mar-a-Lago property, saying he was ‘not concerned’ about the incident…Trump’s comments come as the FBI has begun investigating the recent Mar-a-Lago security breach incident for the possibility that it was an espionage effort, a US official told CNN. The investigation comes at the same time that a top House Democrat asked for a briefing on the security at Trump’s Florida retreat. The official said the FBI is doing what it has to do in these circumstances, when there is a foreign national involved and there is a possibility of counterintelligence or cyber security issues. The investigation is still being led by the US Secret Service. Trump praised the work of the Secret Service, saying he ‘could not be happier’ with their handling of the incident. Federal prosecutors have unveiled charges against Yujing Zhang, a woman whom they accused of entering the President’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida illegally in late March. The Justice Department said Zhang was carrying two Chinese passports, and prosecutors have charged her with making a false statement to a federal officer and entering restricted property.”
