Mina Chang committed a criminal act of fraud. Will she be prosecuted?
☑️ Trump-Pompeo vetting process: T&A
A senior Trump administration official has embellished her résumé with misleading claims about her professional background — even creating a fake Time magazine cover with her face on it — raising questions about her qualifications to hold a top position at the State Department.
An NBC News investigation found that Mina Chang, the deputy assistant secretary in the State Department's Bureau of Conflict and Stability Operations, has inflated her educational achievements and exaggerated the scope of her nonprofit's work.
Someone needs to confirm if there was a quid pro quo! #BeBest
Whatever her qualifications, Chang had a key connection in the Trump administration. Brian Bulatao, a top figure in the State Department and longtime friend of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, attended a fundraiser for her nonprofit in Dallas and once donated $5,500 to her charity, according to a former colleague of Chang's.
Why didn’t anyone ask her for her official Harvard transcript?
Chang says in her official biography that she is as an "alumna" of Harvard Business School. According to the university, Chang attended a seven-week course in 2016, and does not hold a degree from the institution.
Why didn’t anyone ask her for references and do followup?
Chang, who assumed her post in April, also invented a role on a U.N. panel, claimed she had addressed both the Democratic and Republican national conventions, and implied she had testified before Congress.
She was being considered for an even bigger government job, one with a budget of more than $1 billion, until Congress started asking questions about her résumé.
She earns a six-figure salary in a bureau with a $6 million budget
"But you're part of the vetting process, you know? I give out a name to the press, and they vet for me. We save a lot of money that way.", Trump ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
