Key House and Senate Democrats have asked the FBI and director of National Intelligence to investigate ex-spa owner Li Yang and her relationship with President Trump following reports that she created a business that may have sold access to the president.
dated Friday, the top Democrats on the Judiciary and Intelligence Committees called on the FBI to “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.”
“Although Ms. Yang’s activities may only be those of an unscrupulous actor allegedly selling access to politicians for profit, her activities also could permit adversary governments or their agents access to these same politicians to acquire potential material for blackmail or other even more nefarious purposes,” it continued.
First reported by the Miami Herald, a photo on the Facebook page of Li Yang showed her posing with President Donald Trump at a Super Bowl watch party at the president's West Palm Beach country club.The letter was signed by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., as well as their Senate counterparts who serve as ranking members on the corresponding committees, Mark Warner, D-Va., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
