WASHINGTON _ Democrats in Congress are asking the FBI to investigate former Florida massage parlor owner Li "Cindy" Yang after the Miami Herald and others reported on Yang's access to President Donald Trump and work to get Chinese business executives access to political fundraisers.
In a letter sent Friday to FBI Director Christopher Wray, National Intelligence Director Dan Coats and U.S. Secret Service Director Randolph Alles, Democrats leading the House and Senate Intelligence and Judiciary Committees called for 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."
Yang, who operates a string of South Florida Asian day spas linked to sexual services, arranged for a group of Chinese expats to attend a 2017 Republican fundraiser for Trump at a New York restaurant as part of her work with the National Committee of Asian American Republicans. Yang founded _ but had sold _ the massage parlor that New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft allegedly visited on the day of the AFC Championship Game. The business was under surveillance and he and several other men were charged.
