US President Donald Trump has dismissed a recent alleged breach of his Florida resort, saying he was "not concerned" about the incident.
Trump described an alleged breach of his club by a woman with Chinese passports and a flashdrive containing malware as a "fluke situation".
"I think it's just a fluke situation and I think the person sitting at the front desk did a very good job," Trump said, saying he's been briefed on the incident.
He added that the receptionist "was able to see things that other people were not, but no, I think it's just a fluke".
Trump's comments come as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has begun investigating the security breach incident for the possibility that it was an espionage effort, a US official told CNN.
The investigation comes at the same time that a top House Democrat asked for a briefing on the security at Trump's Florida retreat.
The official said the FBI is doing what it has to do in these circumstances, when there is a foreign national involved and there is a possibility of counterintelligence or cyber security issues.
Federal prosecutors have unveiled charges against Yujing Zhang, a woman whom they accused of entering the President's resort illegally last month.
The Justice Department said Zhang was carrying two Chinese passports, and prosecutors have charged her with making a false statement to a federal officer and entering restricted property.
