WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic congressional leaders have asked the FBI to investigate the founder of a Florida massage parlour chain who is an alleged acquaintance of President Donald Trump, according to a letter released on Monday.

 

House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer released the letter, signed by four other lawmakers. It asked investigators to look into "public reports about alleged activities by Ms. Li 'Cindy' Yang and her apparent relationship with the president."

 

A chain of massage parlours founded by Yang is "suspected of involvement" in human trafficking and prostitution which involves female immigrants being forced to serve as "sex workers," said the letter to the FBI and other federal investigative agencies.

 

Senators Mark Warner and Dianne Feinstein and Representatives Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler signed the letter. It said Yang also reportedly created a business called GY US investments which they allege "may be selling access to the president and members of his family to clients from China."

 

Michelle Merson, a Florida lawyer who says she is representing Yang, could not immediately be reached for comment. On a website, Merson posted a video in which she said Yang is scared and in hiding.

 

Merson said Yang denies the allegations made against her. "Ms. Yang is not concerned because she feels she's speaking the truth and the truth will free her," Merson said in the video.

 

The Democrats' letter said Yang's website, which has been taken down, once offered clients the "opportunity to interact" with Trump and other political figures as well as participation in White House and Capitol Hill dinners.

 

The letter said that, if proven, such allegations "raise serious counterintelligence concerns."

 

It asked if Yang had been the focus of earlier federal or state probes and for an assessment of "counterintelligence risks" which Yang's activities might have posed.

 

The Democrats also asked if other individuals have used Mar-a-Lago, the president's Palm Beach estate, to offer foreigners access to Trump or people around him, as well as whether Yang or her foreign clients have had access to Trump or U.S. officials at the White House, Mar-a-Lago, or other Trump properties.

 

The FBI had no comment on the legislators' letter. The White House, the Office of Director of National Intelligence, and the Secret Service did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Well, nothing else is working in the haters' multi-pronged effort to overthrow duly-elected president Donald J. Trump.  They might as well try this.  Yawn.

Overthrow? I haven't seen any impeachment proceedings.

Checks and balances. That's the point. If there is something in it, don't you want to know about it?

Happy ending for this one?

Apparently Schiff has evidence, or at least he has said so. Let's bring it on, but I don't think Schiff wants to show how corrupt the Obama FBI, and DOJ were.

Is this like an Onion type story? Cant be real.

I do not believe that President Trump would get involved with such people.  Next they'll be saying that Trump got involved with a porn star (while being married) and a former Playboy bunny.  It's simply inconsistent.  ????

somehow these two statements negate each other..., but since they were made by a her lawyer it will still cost her about $300/hour.

I have to admit, as much as I HATE Trump, this is just ridiculous. It gives all us Trump haters a bad name!

Most of us don't grab the p*****s of women and then brag about it. That's reserved for a very special kind of gutter dweller. Are you one of them?

Speak for yourself, dude. But it speaks volumes that you think of yourself (and men in general, apparently) as a pussy grabber, porn star schtupper and creepy old guy.

I can’t speak for you, but I personally don’t know anyone who molests women by grabbing them in the genitals without their consent, lusts after their own daughters or perves on teens.

 

Consensually schtupping a porn star, on the other hand, that’s something I could get behind, if you know what I mean. But still, (again, I cannot speak for you) I’m not, and personally don’t know anyone, who is President of the freakin’ United States.
