Trump names family wedding planner who lied about college degrees to run Fed Housing in NYC area.

[CousinIT]

She’s arranged tournaments at Trump golf courses, served as the liaison to the Trump family during his presidential campaign, and even arranged Eric Trump’s wedding.

Now President Trump has appointed longtime loyalist Lynne Patton — who has zero housing experience and claims a law degree the school says she never earned — to run the office that oversees federal housing programs in New York.

Patton was appointed Wednesday to head up the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Region II, which includes New York and New Jersey, where she’ll oversee distribution of billions of taxpayer dollars.

Patton’s tight relationship with the Trump clan dates back to 2009, when she began serving as the family’s “event planner.”

2. This is obscene.

Why doesn't Priebus or someone stop him? Oh yeah. Nevermind.

3. You watch this and wonder - how does anyone write a "House of Cards" script anymore?

Reality is putting fiction to shame. A wedding planner. Dear Leader is right about one thing. He is unpredictable. I imagine he's the only person on earth who would put a wedding planner in this position.

Patton’s LinkedIn profile states that she began working as an event planner for the Trump family in 2009 and was a vice president at the Eric Trump Foundation from 2011 through January. The foundation is now under investigation by the New York attorney general for allegedly funneling $110,000 into the Trump Organization that was designated for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

Patton also states on her LinkedIn that she earned a law degree from the Quinnipiac University School of Law, but the school registrar told the Daily News that Patton only attended for two semesters and didn’t graduate.

Patton was first made a White House liaison at HUD in February. She is one of the few public black officials in the Trump administration, joining Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson.
