On Friday night, a prominent billionaire and cabinet secretary marked the launch of the “Enforcement Division” in Washington, D.C. This exclusive member’s club, which was co-founded by Donald Trump Jr. and investor Omed Malik, has its roots in the year 1789.
Alongside Malik, Trump Jr. and their fellow co-founders—Christopher Baskirk, Alex and Zach Witkoff, and Steve Witkoff—celebrated with founding members who each contributed a hefty $500,000 to join.
Though the president himself didn’t attend, a number of notable figures were present, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Keith Rabois from the Paypal Mafia, crypto moguls Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, and Dr. Oz.
Other guests included Commerce Secretary Howard Luttonick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bescent, both of whom are known to have ties to the Trump administration.
In September, the club plans to open its doors to new members, offering entry for $150,000 along with a $15,000 annual fee.
The evening was filled with lavish offerings—caviar, champagne, and lobster made for what one attendee described as a taste of the “golden age.” The menu is reportedly curated to meet high standards, opting for beef rather than seed oil.
For security, several former Navy SEALs have been brought on board full-time.
Also in attendance were Secretary of State for Economic Growth Jacob Helberg, Education Secretary Linda McMahon, UAE Ambassador Yousef al Otaiba, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer. Deputy Chiefs of Staff Taylor Budwich, Dan Scabino, and James Blair rounded out the guest list, along with FHFA Director Bill Prute and Trump Campaign Manager Cory Lewandowski.
Interestingly, media members were notably absent, as their access was strictly prohibited. There were also no photos permitted; even phone cameras had to be covered with stickers.
The executive division occupies a former residence in Georgetown, known as the “clubhouse.” The founders have transformed the space, investing millions in art that fills its walls.
Malik shared that he sees the club as part of a larger trend of investing in what he calls “parallel economies.” He emphasized that it’s a unique offering in Washington, claiming, “There’s nothing else like it.” This initiative aligns with efforts to create new and distinct experiences in line with the values of 1789.
Furthermore, he pointed out that the club aims to be a refuge for its members, making careful choices about those they welcome based on shared values.
Earlier this year, another private club named The NED opened in D.C. While NED draws in a diverse political crowd close to the Capitol, this new establishment is nestled in Georgetown.
The location, previously known for a bar loved by billionaires and world leaders, has been lavishly refurbished, with a $10 million art collection that includes original oil paintings and bronze sculptures reflecting themes of courage, service, and politics—some from the club’s founding members.
