The uproar over Yang’s Mar-a-Lago access again raises potential conflicts arising from a president spending time at a private residence that is also a for-profit enterprise.
Amid the mushrooming speculation surrounding Cindy Yang’s ability to get into and sell access to President Donald Trump’s closely guarded private clubs, Yang’s attorney — who is not a club member — walked through the majestic wrought iron doors of Mar-a-Lago on the evening of March 16.
Attorney Evan Turk, who described Yang as “another casualty, as a supporter of our president,” gained entrance to the club like so many other non-members. He got a ticket to one of dozens of swank fundraisers hosted every year at Mar-a-Lago during Palm Beach’s social season.
Although the walled club is seemingly impenetrable and membership dues and fees top $200,000, a quick perusal of social media reveals Mar-a-Lago as a porous party destination accessible to anyone with the right contacts or a few hundred dollars.
