The woman who founded a series of Florida spas that were recently busted for functioning as a sex trafficking ring — including one where New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was arrested for allegedly soliciting prostitution — also owns a consulting firm that advertises access to President Trump and his family to Chinese executives, according to new Mother Jones and USA Today reports.
Mother Jones was first to report that Cindy (Li) Yang runs a business called GY US Investments LLC, which has a website that is primarily in Chinese and advertises her proximity to President Trump. The day after the Miami Herald published an exposé on Yang’s ties to Trump and key figures in the Republican Party, the website shut down.
USA Today confirmed the details of the Mother Jones story by reviewing a cached version of the company’s website, which advertises Yang’s Trump administration connections, complete with photos of her with President Trump, his family, lawmakers and White House officials. The company offers opportunities for American businesses to “expand their brand image in the modern Chinese marketplace.”
The GY US Investments website also details upcoming events at Trump’s favorite get-away, Mar-a-Lago, where potential clients can network with the President or members of his family.
The consulting firm was reportedly founded by Yang and her husband in 2017.

I expected to get a hearty handshake, but, like, wow…
Quelle surprise.
This would end any other Presidency (Imagine how loudly the Republic Party would howl were this Obama).
But, due to our supremely spineless Republic Party controlled Senate, this latest scandal will just get in line with the rest of Trump’s scandals.
Troubling on a number of levels.
First of all, one can safely assume anything Yang knows is known to Chinese intelligence. That means Robert Kraft and other bigwigs who were clients of these “spas” are susceptible to blackmail.
But secondly, another example of Trump’s corrupt pay to play cesspool that’s an affront to our laws and to every American working hard and playing by the rules to attain the “American dream”. Directly the opposite of what Trump campaigned on. I suspect this is a developing story with the worst news yet to come.

“INTRODUCTION[T]he interpretation of the conspiracy provision presents the recurring theme of RICOjurisprudence: to interpret the statute to its full breadth in order to encompass thecongressional goal of convicting insulated ring leaders runs the risk of expanding the net so wide that unintended fringe actors are also brought within the purview ofRICO”
