On April 4, Wang endured a two-hour hearing where DOJ prosecutors attempted to make a case for denying her bail, on speculation that she could be a flight risk. Their arguments were so weak that Judge Robert W. Lehrburger ordered the government to provide certain documents and lay a foundation to support their inferences, which the court was not convinced were factual. The government failed to do so.
