Joining me now is congressman brad sherman, a california democrat who sits on the Foreign Affairs committee. Congressman, so good to have you on. Welcome.

Just two weeks ago robert kraft, the owner of the new England Patriots and a friend of trumps was charged with soliciting prostitution at a south florida day spa which he denies. The miami herald is reporting the woman who founded that day spa Li Cindy Yang snagged this selfie at trumps West Palm Beach country club last month. Mother jones reports yang who made Campaign Donations to trump runs an Investment Business thats offered to sell chinese clients access to the president and his family. We should note yang no longer owns the spa linked to Robert Krafts alleged crime and was not charged in the investigation. Nbc has not confirmed reporting from the miami herald and mother jones. We reached out to the white house and yang for comment on friday but didnt get a response. Joining me now
