As the Florida spa sex trafficking scandal continues to unfold, it turns out the founder of the spa chain, Li Yang, has a lot of Republican friends. And there are pictures to prove it that they really don’t want people to see.
Li Yang founded the Asian day spa chain, but even before ownership changed hands law enforcement suspected her business of being involved in human trafficking, prostitution and sex slavery.
Last month, police finally busted the chain in a sting operation that nabbed New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, a supporter of President Donald Trump.
The story did not end there, but has only deepened with the revelation that Yang has appeared in photographs with many Republican politicians and conservative media personalities.
For instance, Yang has not only partied with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, she watched the Super Bowl with him and has several photos with him, including one that is signed by Trump himself. Oops.

“The woman who snapped the blurry Super Bowl selfie with the president was Li Yang, 45, a self-made entrepreneur from China who started a chain of Asian day spas in South Florida.”https://t.co/0kTuxXF74u pic.twitter.com/aISoeUkk5q

Even Trump’s sons Eric and Don Jr. know Yang.

It looks like Trump has another tainted 2020 campaign manager since Brad Parscale also posed with Yang.

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, who spent much of her legal career putting away sex offenders, posed for a picture with the alleged sex trafficker as well.
The Judge? No way.
Yes way.

And Fox News pundit Dan Bongino lost his sh*t on Twitter after GOP strategist Rick Wilson posted this photo of him with Yang.
This is so cute! I’ll bet this Dan Bongino story has a happy ending! https://t.co/TjphiYzdkX

Seriously, so many Republican lawmakers and conservative media figures have met and posed with Yang that this scandal really should be making national headlines. How does a human trafficker get so close to these people? Especially the president, who has spent a lot of time cheating on his wife and has been repeatedly accused of sexual assault. Just how far does his relationship with Yang go?
Perhaps House Democrats should subpoena Yang and compel her to testify. She might have a lot of dirty secrets to share.
