Bob Baer on Cuomo explained what a mess that place is for SS. Said it's impossible to secure. She was just one Chines spy that got caught. Got past the SS! The receptionist is the only one to stop and question her and figured out she didn't belong there.

The FBI declined to comment.
Senate Democrats asked the bureau on Wednesday to assess Mar-a-Lago facilities and equipment Trump uses to access classified information while staying at his luxury country club.

They added that the Secret Service and White House Communications Agency were working together to establish several secure areas at Mar-a-Lago for handling classified information when the president travels there ...
