EXCLUSIVESecrets of Donald Trump Jr’s ultra-elite club: Former staff lift the velvet curtain on its 50 members… their ‘wild’ antics… the blacklisted senators… and one unbreakable rule
Daily Mail
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.
Welcome to the Executive Branch: Donald Trump Jr’s members club where 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’s unspoken rule – what happens here, stays here. Or at least it’s supposed to.
Ex–staffers are now pulling back the velvet curtain on a world of champagne–soaked excess and corner table power plays, where even ambassadors and prime ministers could get blacklisted at the door and loyalty is the only currency that matters.
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 price of admission is a little more eye–catching: $500,000 annually, the Daily Mail is told and the sky–high sum can only be submitted after a rigorous cabinet–style vetting process.
Just 50 people have made the cut to be members so far, our sources exclusively revealed. And on Thursday, that elite cadre is invited to a special club Christmas party featuring the rapper Busta Rhymes.

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.
There’s a restaurant, a boardroom, a conference room and several swanky bars – all spread out on two floors. All the staff, from the chefs to the bartenders and managers, hail from big clubs in New York City and Miami.
‘I helped run it,’ one source who used to work at the club told the Daily Mail. ‘There was wild stuff that went on there.’
‘One of the members… was so upset we didn’t have this specific wine – so he had his assistant fly on their private jet [on the day of the dinner] to his house in Florida and bring back a bottle of wine from his private collection… despite there being about 4,000 wines on the property,’ the source revealed.
Trump Jr launched the club with financiers Omeed Malik and Christopher Buskirk of 1789 Capital — a venture capital firm which welcomed the president’s eldest son as a partner last year. The sons of Trump’s diplomatic envoy Steve Witkoff are also co–owners of the establishment.
According to the former employee, some of the elite few at the very top have poured over $1 million into the club, which underwent a sweeping remodel this past summer after being shuttered for roughly six weeks.
The team brought on renowned Palm Beach chef Salvatore Brucculeri to craft a menu of American dishes with Mediterranean and Japanese influences. Top favorites include the steak and caviar, according to a source very familiar with their operations.
The owners also strategically picked a location that was removed from the White House and Capitol Hill.
‘If you are a senator you aren’t going to Georgetown, right? It is away from all that, and inside one of the most elite neighborhoods in DC,’ said another source familiar with the operations of the club.
Former employees say the venue is nearly impossible to enter without a membership or guest pass.
‘People get blacklisted for showing up, thinking they can get in because they’re someone. They will blacklist prime ministers and ambassadors for showing up uninvited. They really don’t care. I have seen it – it’s an everyday occurrence,’ the former employee told the Daily Mail.
According to the same insider, a notable diplomat from the Middle East was turned away, while several senators haven’t been cleared to enter either.
Among the known members, however, are White House AI czar David Sacks as well as Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, crypto tycoon twins who were immortalized in the 2010 movie The Social Network. Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick and former congressman Mike Gallagher are also on the members’ list, the source familiar with the operation told the Daily Mail.
Insiders also say the club operates under ironclad security, with Secret Service reportedly present around the clock.
‘We don’t have any pictures or videos of the place – staff would be fired on the spot. There are hundreds of cameras inside with facial recognition. We would have been escorted within seconds of just taking our phones out.’

The former employee described ‘a very well–known person’ who visited with his girlfriend and would only drink a single brand of tequila – one that costs $700 a shot.
Other high–flying members prefer rare Japanese whisky priced between $2,000 and $3,000 per glass.
‘One person tagged along with a member, didn’t realize how much the whiskey costs, and ran up a tab of $10,000 for a few drinks they had to put on their Amex. We said, we are really sorry, you should have asked,’ the former employee said.
Washington’s club culture is undoubtedly having a moment, fueled by the arrival of Ned’s Club near the White House — a magnet for bold–faced names from cabinet secretaries to TV anchors and billionaires.
And it’s not alone: legacy spots like the Cosmos Club, the Metropolitan and the University Club are scrambling to stay relevant and attract new members.
Insiders explain that the Executive Branch was built out of both a want and necessity for the high–rolling MAGA elite.
‘You have to remember that a lot of the people doing business at the Executive Branch are people doing business people in New York and Florida and California – and when they come to DC, they want a place where they can go and have meetings without reporters or Democrats overhearing them,’ the source familiar with operations told the Daily Mail.
However, the same source noted that most members are ‘private citizens,’ not Trump administration employees.
‘This isn’t Donald Trump’s club,’ he noted.
For the half–million–dollar members who walk through its doors, the Executive Branch is a sanctuary of discretion and control.
For everyone else, it’s a reminder that, in Washington, the most important decisions happen behind doors you’ll never see.
As the former employee said: ‘There is a whole world of rich folk that people don’t even know exists.’
Daily Mail reached out to Donald Trump Jr. who declined to comment.
