High-ranking Democrats are calling on the FBI to conduct a criminal and counterintelligence investigation into a Florida spa owner whose consultancy firm advertised access to Pres. Trump and his inner circle at the president’s Mar-a-Lago country club.
The Democrats said in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and other high-ranking officials thatabout Li "Cindy" Yang’s consulting firm, which offered clients opportunities to interact with Trump raised "serious counterintelligence concerns" if true -- as did allegations of sex trafficking at massage parlors founded but no longer owned by Yang.
The letter requests that the FBI "conduct criminal and counterintelligence investigations into credible allegations of potential human trafficking, as well as unlawful foreign lobbying, campaign finance and other activities by Ms. Yang." The letter also requests answers to a number of questions about law enforcement’s knowledge of Yang prior to the media reporting and about Yang’s interactions with Trump and others in the administration.
