FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla—A Chinese woman was sentenced to eight months in prison in a federal court on Nov. 25 after she was convicted of bluffing her way into U.S. President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, sparking fears she could pose an intelligence threat.

Yujing Zhang, 33, was found guilty in September of lying to a federal officer and trespassing at the Palm Beach resort by a U.S. District Court 12-member jury in Fort Lauderdale after a two-day trial.
