Donald Trump Jr. and financier Omeed Malik hosted an extravagant Fourth of July celebration at the exclusive Georgetown private club, Executive Branch, reportedly costing $500,000 and featuring a performance by rapper 50 Cent. The high-profile event drew a mix of political figures, administration officials, and Trump associates.
Attendees included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz. FBI Director Patel, accompanied by his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins, commented on the challenges of working during the holiday weekend's heat. Dr. Oz expressed enjoyment from recent briefings, while his wife, Lisa Oz, spoke about the difficulties of public life and the online trolling she experiences, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing marriage.
Also present was Margot Martin, a Trump press aide, though she was noticeably absent from her fiancé, former professional lacrosse player Brock Sorensen. Garrett Ventry, founder of GRV Strategies and business partner to Omeed Malik, was also in attendance.
The party's decor included a Mount Rushmore ice bar and custom caviar stations, with Revolution-era actors serving drinks. The entertainment shifted from a fife and drum band to a rap beat, with 50 Cent performing a 12-song set.
Among the notable legal figures were incoming Attorney General Todd Blanche, who was seen mingling and dancing, and Lindsey Halligan, a former interim US attorney. Halligan was overheard claiming Trump intends to place her in a high-ranking position at the DOJ, though the specifics remain unclear.
Alina Habba, a former personal lawyer for President Trump, was also present and reportedly seen with a new companion. FDA Commissioner Kyle Diamantopoulos was observed in the VIP section.
Other guests included Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, along with several administration officials such as Kennedy Chief of Staff Stefanie Spear, DNI Chief of Staff Christina Norton, White House Political Director Matt Brasseaux, and Deputy HHS Secretary Chris Klomp. High-ranking individuals from the tech and defense sectors, including Ethan Klein (Chief Technology Officer of the United States) and Emil Michael (Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering), also attended. Billionaire Brazilian CEO Joesley Batista, known for his close ties to the Trump family, was also spotted. Financial professionals Rebecca Karabus (Senior Advisor at the US Treasury) and Jeff Naft (Communications Lead at Senate Banking) were also in attendance.
CNN White House reporter Alayna Treene was reportedly seen entering the club towards the end of the event. The Executive Branch club, located on Wisconsin Avenue, was formerly home to The Clubhouse and has undergone significant renovation, including the addition of $10 million worth of art.
