NEW: Mina Chang, a senior Trump admin. official, has embellished her resume with misleading claims about her professional background, raising questions about her qualifications to hold a top position at the US State Dept., an NBCNews investigation finds.
Chang had no apparent ties to President Donald Trump's political campaign, but Brian Bulatao, a former West Point classmate and business partner of Secretary of State Pompeo, was invited to fundraising events for her charity, according to Ian Dailey, the former chief of staff of her nonprofit. One year Bulatao bid on an auction item that resulted in a $5,500 donation to the group, Dailey said. But he added that Bulatao had no role in the organization.
Her Instagram account, with 42,000 followers, includes selfies with celebrities and Washington luminaries like former President Bill Clinton, retired Gen. David Petraeus, former Defense Secretary Bob Gates, Karl Rove, Madeleine Albright and Buzz Aldrin.She also established contacts with the U.S. military.
After Ratcliffe's nomination flamed out, Trump defended his administration's screening of job candidates, saying the news media helped the White House filter nominees. "The White House goes into very great detail -- 'Have you ever been divorced, have you ever been arrested?'" said Pfiffner."Most administrations are very thorough about that."As to Chang's job history, he said,"I would expect that they would check all of the claims made in the bio, most of which would be relatively easy to check."
