Since late April, when Washington learned that Donald Trump Jr. and some business partners were planning to open a new private club in Washington called Executive Branch, with memberships costing up to $500,000, curious scenesters—not to mention critics and ethics people—have had more questions than answers.
Who is the target clientele, and what might they expect to get for their money? How will the club fit into the social and political topography of the city? And why was this presumably fancy club going to be located in Georgetown Park, a complex perhaps best known for its bowling alley, clothing retailers and Department of Motor Vehicles service center?
