Trump-aligned club for the ultra rich launches in Washington

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/26/donald-trump-washington-club-00311720

* $500,000 to join and some are offering a million
* Don Jr running it and David Sachs will host the opening

A new club is coming to Washington — and you probably can’t get in.

Donald Trump Jr., megadonor Omeed Malik and several other investors are launching an invite-only club that costs more than half a million to join with an exclusive post-White House Correspondents’ Dinner gathering, according to an invite obtained by POLITICO and two people with knowledge of the venture, granted anonymity to discuss the private organization.
