Club Aligned with Trump for the Ultra-Rich Opens in Washington
The debut of "Executive Branch" coincides with Trump world’s efforts to reshape the political landscape of Washington.

A new exclusive club is coming to Washington—though gaining entry may prove difficult.
Donald Trump Jr., prominent donor Omeed Malik, and several other investors are establishing an invite-only club with a membership fee exceeding half a million dollars, featuring a gathering after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, according to an invitation obtained by PMG and two anonymous sources familiar with the project.
Dubbed the "Executive Branch," this venture is led by Malik and Trump Jr., along with their partners at conservative firm 1789 Capital. The club will be situated in Georgetown.
Insiders suggest the goal is to create Washington’s most elite private club, catering to business and tech leaders eager to build connections with the Trump administration.
With a focus on preserving exclusivity through strict referral requirements and high membership costs, the environment aims to facilitate interaction between top executives and Trump advisors without outside scrutiny. This hefty price is unlikely to deter Trump’s cabinet, which is recognized as the wealthiest in history.
Already, there’s a waitlist for the club.
Representatives for Trump Jr., Malik, and the other investors declined to comment, while some details of the group’s plans were initially reported by Puck and Semafor.
A formal announcement is set to take place Saturday evening at a gathering at the Willard, organized by Malik, David Sacks, and Trump Jr.
The timing aligns with the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, an event where, in previous years, administration officials mingled with journalists. This year, however, many from the Trump camp are opting out.
President Donald Trump had already decided against attending the event prior to traveling to Rome for Pope Francis’ funeral, and numerous aides and allies are also skipping the traditional journalism celebration.
As a result, both groups will be keeping to their own circles.
The Executive Branch party is anticipated to serve as the go-to gathering for the Trump administration and its supporters. According to insiders, it is one of the few events that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will attend over the weekend.
The club's ownership includes Malik, a Trump donor and founder of 1789 Capital; his business partner Chris Buskirk; Trump Jr.; along with Zach and Alex Witkoff, the sons of Trump envoy Steve Witkoff.
Founding members are reported to include Sacks, the Winklevoss brothers, and Chamath Palihapitiya.
