Trump inaugural committee falsely claims donations from "Hidden Figures" hero

Last edited Fri Apr 21, 2017, 08:27 AM - Edit history (1)


"THE 58TH PRESIDENTIAL Inaugural Committee, the campaign entity used to fund Donald Trump’s inauguration and related festivities, claimed in its official filing with the Federal Election Commission that it received a $25,000 donation from Katherine Johnson, the distinguished NASA mathematician and physicist. The filing listed her address at 1 NASA Drive in Hampton, Va., the location of NASA’s Langley Research Center. Johnson, who is retired at age 98, does not live at the research center."

This is not the only fake donation. Where did the millions of dollars really come from and where did they really go?
