A Chinese citizen, Zijie Li, was arrested this week by police in Palm Beach, Florida, after repeatedly attempting to enter former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club. Li, a 38-year-old man from El Monte, California, claimed to possess documents linking the Chinese government to an assassination attempt on Trump that occurred on July 13 during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He attempted to enter Mar-a-Lago seven times before being apprehended on July 30. The incident has raised questions about security measures at the property and the authenticity of the documents Li claimed to have.
