But there is no such event scheduled and she also not in the member’s list, agents said. Agent Samuel Ivanovich said she was taken off the grounds and she becomes argumentative, so she has been taken to Secret Service agents.

“While the Secret Service does not determine who is permitted to enter the club, our agents and officers conduct physical screenings to ensure no prohibited items are allowed onto the property,” a U.S. Secret Service spokesperson said.

According to APnews, “Yang recently made news after it was learned she was promising Chinese business leaders that her consulting firm could get them access to Mar-a-Lago”.
