PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A company run by a donor to President Donald Trump claimed it could provide Chinese clients with a chance to mingle and take photos with the president, along with access to his private club in Palm Beach, Florida.
It remains unclear how much Li Yang charged for the services and whether she was ever hired to provide them.
Former administration officials have described the lengths to which aides have gone to try to run interference, including reserving the dinner table next to Trump's to keep as close an eye on him as possible and scanning guest lists for visitors who might prove problematic. That has included, the website claims, access to presidential dinners and roundtables, White House events, photo opportunities and"VIP" activities including the"opportunity to interact with the president, the Minister of Commerce and other political figures."
Yang and the company did not respond to messages seeking comment, nor did the Trump Organization or Mar-a-Lago. "Anyone can buy tickets to any event and I'm assuming that is what she had done," Ziegler said."I've never met the lady and I could never pick her out of a police lineup." Mother Jones on Saturday detailed Yang's efforts to provide Chinese clients access to Trump and his circle.
