Trump linked to massage parlor owner involved in Robert Kraft prostitution scandal - report
Li Yang, the operator of a chain of US massage parlors under investigation for offering prostitution services to its clients, including New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, allegedly watched the Super Bowl at the White House.
Per a report in the Miami Herald, Yang – who sometimes goes by the first name 'Cindy' – watched the NFL's showpiece fixture in the company of the United States President and had previously visited Trump's Mar-A-Lago property.
Yang, 45, has been in the spotlight in recent weeks since a police raid on a premises in Florida, following allegations of prostitution and human trafficking linked to her business.

It is thought that the spas are part of a larger network of thinly-veiled brothels offering sexual services to its clients, and that they engage in international sex-trafficking to help fulfil the demand.

Speculation as to further names being linked to the scandal reached fever pitch shortly after the news originally broke when NFL insider Adam Schefter announced over Twitter that names "bigger than Kraft" have also been entangled in the matter.
Yang, who also denies any illegal activity, says that none of the spas caught up in the scandal are registered to her.
