Since the return of Donald Trump to the presidency, both Trump himself and his family members have found many nontraditional, and questionably legal, ways to enrich themselves, from crypto to foreign business deals to possible backing of a purchase of Warner Brothers. One such business move, first announced at the beginning of the year, was Donald Trump Jr.’s launch of a Washington-based private club, titled Executive Branch.

Details have been scarce about what goes on there and how it works, but The Daily Mail reported on Wednesday about the status of the Executive Branch club.

“Behind an unmarked door in Georgetown, past men in black suits with earpieces and a phone–confiscation checkpoint worthy of a CIA safehouse, lies Washington’s most exclusive – and secretive – playground for the MAGA elite,” the report said.

The club costs $500,000 per year, and can only follow “a rigorous cabinet–style vetting process.”

At the club, per the Daily Mail, “billionaires drain $3,000 glasses of Japanese whisky, and one particularly finicky customer allegedly dispatched a private jet to fetch his exquisite wine.”

The club also has a strict “what happens here, stays here” rule, although the sources for the Mail story appear to be ex-staffers. The club features ” a restaurant, a boardroom, a conference room and several swanky bars,” which much of the staff hired from “big clubs” in New York and Miami.

“The club is tucked across from a bowling alley above a parking lot in Georgetown. Its entrance is so discreet one may walk right past it without notice,” The Daily Mail said. The report added that rap legend Busta Rhymes is set to headline the club’s Christmas party.

“Inside the club, sources tell the Daily Mail, low lighting casts shadows over an ornate, intimate space similar to the ultra–exclusive Aman Club in New York and Carriage House in Palm Beach, where Washington’s power brokers cut deals and run up obscene tabs.”

Known members of the club include White House AI czar David Sacks, The Social Network villains Cameron and Tyler Winkevoss, Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick and former congressman Mike Gallagher.

“We don’t have any pictures or videos of the place – staff would be fired on the spot,” the Daily Mail’s source said. “There are hundreds of cameras inside with facial recognition. We would have been escorted within seconds of just taking our phones out.”
