Li Zijie, a 39-year-old living in suburban Los Angeles on a student visa, allegedly showed up at the Trump property in an Uber on the afternoon of Nov. 7 for his latest attempt to get inside the resort in the last couple of weeks.
Li made the trip just hours after getting out of a mental hospital, where he had spent the past week after a similar attempt made in late October, based on a police affidavit. As stated by the county's jail records, Li is now facing two counts of trespassing. He is being detained at the Palm Beach County Main Detention Center with his bail set at $100,000.
The arrest has increased security concerns around Trump, who has had to deal with two assassination attempts against him in the past few months.
According to court documents, Li initially attempted to enter Mar-a-Lago on July 19, six days after Trump was shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Li paused in a gray Toyota and told Secret Service agents he had information incriminating China in the assassination attempt and wished to provide them with the documents.
The Palm Beach police released a trespass warning and told him not to return.
In the days that followed, Li drove to Palm Beach no less than four times, but did not attempt to enter Mar-a-Lago.
On July 30, officers noticed Li driving toward the Mar-a-Lago checkpoint and putting paperwork about Trump on vehicles. He was arrested the following day for purportedly trespassing on the premises. A local court later ordered Li to stay 500 feet away from the resort and Trump.
Court documents also showed that Li's next attempt was on Oct. 30, when he attempted to recruit a resident who lives close to the resort.
In the affidavit concerning the latest intrusion attempt, Palm Beach Police said that because of the "increased attempts by Li to gain entrance into Mar-a-Lago" to get in touch with the president-elect, a future attempt could lead to a rise of enforcement.
Mar-a-Lago had five intrusions during Trump's first term as president
Mar-a-Lago was the scene of five intrusion attempts during Trump's first term, including two by Chinese nationals.
In March 2019, Chinese national Zhang Yujing, a businesswoman from Shanghai, gained entry to Mar-a-Lago while holding a laptop, phones and other electronic gear. Her trespass incident led to speculation that she was a spy for the Chinese Communist Party, but the Department of Justice never accused her of espionage. (Related: Chinese nationals being let into U.S. via Biden’s pathetic open borders policies, raising new fears of espionage.)
Text messages Zhang exchanged with a trip organizer suggested she was a fan of Trump and wanted to meet him or his family to talk about possible deals. She was found guilty of trespassing and deported.
In December 2019, the club's security officers faced another Chinese national, Lu Jing, for trespassing and told her to leave, but she returned to take photos. Lu was accused of loitering and resisting an officer without violence. She was later cleared of trespassing but found guilty of resisting arrest.
