U.S. District Judge Roy Altman tried to dissuade Zhang from representing herself, but she insisted, according to CBS News. Altman had previously said he would allow Zhang to represent herself if she was deemed competent.

Altman ordered that Zhang be provided with law books and prosecutors’ evidence against her, instructing her to study the materials, according to CBS.

Zhang was arrested March 30 and charged in April with lying to a federal agent and illegal entering of a restricted area.

She entered the club after claiming she was there to swim, but once inside said she was there for a nonexistent event for Chinese-American business leaders, authorities said.

Zhang had four cellphones, a thumb drive, an external hard drive and a laptop at the time of her arrest, authorities alleged. Prosecutors initially claimed the thumb drive contained malware but have retreated from that claim since.

Secret Service agents said they also found a device for detecting hidden cameras and $8,000 cash in Zhang’s hotel room.

Federal officials have said additional charges are possible, citing an ongoing FBI investigation, according to CBS News.
