Guests had attended the Alfalfa Club dinner, a club that holds an annual black tie banquet and political roast on the last Saturday of January every year. The event is only open to the 200 members of the club and has an invitation system. Each member is eligible to bring up to two guests to the $200-a-plate dinner. The club always serves filet mignon and lobster. The exclusive event is not open to the press.
This exclusive Washington D.C. club founded in 1913. Its sole purpose is to hold an annual banquet each January honoring the birthday of General Robert E. Lee.

Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon and the Washington Post, hosted a party at his home after the event, which drew major Trump administration movers and shakers, among them Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, Kellyanne Conway and Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, who is also the wife of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). White House adviser Kellyanne Conway and Sentor Mitt Romney were also in attendance. Not only did Bezos expand his political circle but he also invited Microsoft founder Bill Gates to the event as well as actor Ben Stiller, who was Sen. Romney's guest to the Alfalfa dinner.
The Amazon founder purchased the $23million Washington mansion in 2016 and it underwent three years of renovations and construction. The 27,000-square-foot home is tucked in the city's wealthy Kalorama district near the residences of former President Barack Obama and the Trump-Kushner family.
