Democrats Ask FBI For Criminal, Counterintelligence Investigations Into Massage Parlor Founder Connected To Trump
The four top Democrats from the House and Senate Intelligence and Judiciary committees have called on the FBI to open both criminal and counterintelligence investigations into Li “Cindy” Yang, the founder of a chain of massage parlors in Florida.
Yang also reportedly ran a business that claimed to sell access to President Trump and his associates.
The Miami Herald and Mother Jones magazine have both reported that Yang created a business called “GY US Investments” whose website, since taken down, offered clients “the opportunity to interact with the President, the [American] Minister of Commerce and other political figures.”
The company said it could arrange photo ops with the president and arrange “White House and Capitol Hill” dinners.
“If true, these allegations raise serious counterintelligence concerns,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter, obtained by CBS News, that was sent to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, and Director of the U.S. Secret Service Randolph Alles last Friday.
“China has frequently used non-traditional intelligence collectors and businesspersons to compromise targets.”
Yang was previously the owner of the Orchids of Asia Day Spa, a massage parlor in Jupiter, Florida, where Patriots owner Bob Kraft allegedly solicited prostitution and which was one of several parlors suspected of involvement in human trafficking.
Kraft has denied the allegation, and Yang was not charged or implicated in that matter. She denied breaking the law.
