Cindy Yang "has lived a very quiet life" says her lawyer, per ABC News:

An attorney for a Florida massage parlor owner whose consulting firm marketed political access to President Donald Trump told ABC News her client has led an innocent life and is not the “threat” that she’s made out to be. The comments come as a top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee this week sought more details about the influence peddling allegations.

Yang, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in China, owns a number of nail and massage parlors in Florida, according to business records, and she was the previous owner of a parlor where police said New England Patriots’ owner and longtime Trump friend Robert Kraft, solicited prostitution. Yang had sold that parlor years ago, and Kraft has pleaded not guilty.

But her story took on a different dimension when she was later identified in media reports as having founded an international consulting firm called GY US Investments LLC targeting Chinese businesspeople which advertised among its services access to Trump, his family members and administration officials at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago country club, sparking the interest of congressional investigators.

“Mrs. Yang loves this country,” Merson said. “She has lived a very quiet life, doing good things for herself, her family and her community.”

Her victims? Not so much, but we're not really concerned with them, are we? As long as rich fucks like Robert Kraft can get their wing-wangs squeezed on demand, nobody should have a problem, right?
