EXCLUSIVE - High-end brothel ring used by politicians and military officials sparks concerns national security has been compromised: Republican Rep. Mike Waltz says adversaries have used sex to get 'secrets' before

Lawmakers are worried that national security was compromised after a high-end brothel network targeting military officials and congressmen in the Washington, D.C., area was recently busted.

This week, prosecutors charged three people with running a high-end brothel network in Boston and northern Virginia, whose customers included elected officials, tech executives, lawyers and military personnel.

Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., told DailyMail.com in a statement Friday that he's 'incredibly concerned' about the potential breach of national security through brothel network.

'As member of Intel and Armed Services committees these reports make me incredibly concerned about the security clearance process when our adversaries have a long history of using sex to gather secrets.'

Prosecutors say they paid up to $600 per hour for sexual encounters with predominately Asian women who were being exploited through sex trafficking.

Acting U.S. Attorney Josh Levy announced charges against the brothels' alleged operators, Han Lee, 41, and Junmyung Lee, 30, of Massachusetts and James Lee, 68, of California.

As well as locations in Massachusetts, Virginia and California being raided, the government have also seized two websites tied to the ring.

Speaking at a press conference this week, Levy said: 'This commercial sex ring was built on secrecy and exclusivity, catering to wealthy and well-connected clientele.

'They are doctors, they are lawyers, they're accountants, they are executives at high-tech companies, pharmaceutical companies, they're military officers, government contractors, professors, scientists.

'Pick a profession, they're probably represented in this case. Business is booming, until today.'

Levy continued: 'We're committed to working closely with our federal, state and local partners to hold accountable the people who both ran this ring and the people who fueled the demand for this ring.'

The three defendants, who are not related, were all arrested on Wednesday and charged with conspiring to coerce and entice women...

I wouldn’t be surprised if the FBI “loses” the client list.

All of them.
It’s pathetic. I understand the need to have sexual satisfaction, but I do not understand the need to do it at the expense of your country.

There are 535 people in our federal government that have a vote that the CIA, the FBI, the Epstein style child sex entrapment teams, and every intelligence organization and cartel on the planet want to compromise.

How many do you suppose have escaped [their] combined attentions, un-compromised?

Everybody, except for the few that remained faithful to their marriages.
That’s probably one of the first things they test you on, ability to remain faithful.

In DC there was a newspaper with a large section advertising special services.

“Epstein client list”

The NY Attorney General is not the least interested in that, apparently.

We’ll never know unless they are low hanging fruit that they want to get rid of. Perhaps, Menendez.

Schumer, apparently, was a client of Heidi Fleiss and nothing.

Swalwell had an affair with a Chinese spy. McCarthy said, after becoming Speaker and meeting with the FBI about Swalwell, that the American people would be shocked to know about what he did. I guess un plain old, every day American’s don’t get to know what members of Congress do and say with Chinese spy’s. We don’t qualify to know. And yet, Swalwell is still there running his mouth, a sitting member of Congress.

The Watergate team was breaking into a Democrat Watergate office where a “call service” was being run for the purpose of blackmailing customers.

Even then, the MSM never showed any interest why there had been a break-in in the first place. They were content to get Nixon on the ropes.
