An attorney for the former owner of the Jupiter spa implicated in a human trafficking investigation is now talking about her client.

“Well Mrs. Yang loves this country, she’s trying to have opportunities that only you can have in this country,” said Michelle Merson, Li Yang’s attorney. “And one of those involves politics and she has involved herself with politics and affiliated herself with different politicians, but she is affiliated with a lot of charities, she donates a lot. She is a very active philanthropist.”
