different levels for the club versus the former president s residence. the u.s. secret service referred us back to mar-a-lago. so who is the real anna de rothschild? how did she get past security? what was she doing at mar-a-lago? if she is not the woman she says she was what were you able to learn about her? she was born in a small town in ukraine, poor, she came over here with her family, an immigrant family, first generation. her father is a truck driver in suburban chicago. her mother cleaned doctors offices. reporter: the woman s lawyer andrew smallman tried to set the record straight and told me the only time his client went through the security gate at mar-a-lago was on may first last year and that she didn t show any i.d. on may 2nd he confirmed she was at the beach hotel across the street. on may 9th at the fundraiser for the governor. he told me she is not a spy. he painted his client as an abused woman who was being set up by a man she filed a
anna de rothschild. an investment banker and guest at mar-a-lago says he met her at the club last year just before mother s day and says she passed herself off as part of the rothschild family banking dynasty and called it a near perfect ruse. she talked about growing up in monte carlo, talked about her grandparents house in west palm beach. she talked about family investments in the dominican republic. and the bahamas. reporter: the pittsburgh post gaz gazette and organized crime and reporting project were the first to report the woman s alleged caper at mar-a-lago which former president trump calls home. they say she visited there at least five times last year. new reporting by the gazette and occrp has revealed possible ties to a russian gang enterprise with a history of money laundering. this is video they obtained of her driving up to the mar-a-lago club s front doors. she is wearing designer clothes. she has the gold rolex watches.
