Welcome to the Mar-a-Lago Club, known in Trump circles as the winter White House, in Palm Beach, Fla. Mar-a-Lago may present the worst counterintelligence nightmare the country has faced since the Cold War. That could not have happened at the White House, not even during a state banquet, because visitors are not allowed to take in their devices. For that matter, how secure is the Mar-a-Lago wireless network used by the club’s influential members and guests, many of them friends of the president? Yet Chinese influence-peddlers, some of them with unabashed connections to the Communist Party, continue to sell invitations to Mar-a-Lago online with impunity.
