New questions about Trump inauguration money raised in book 'Melania and Me'
Anna Schecter and Monica Alba
NBC News, 2 September 2020
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff suggests chaos in the inaugural committee might have allowed millions to go unaccounted for.
The woman who organized Trumps inauguration still has questions about where millions of dollars raised for the celebration went, and makes new allegations about how the Trump family tried to use the money to line its own pockets in her book Melania and Me, out Tuesday.
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former close friend and confidant of the first lady, describes the chaotic weeks leading up to the January 2017 inauguration, including an anecdote in which she was told donations to the Presidential Inaugural Committee might have exceeded the $107 million reported on federal tax forms by several million dollars.
Honestly, the presidential inaugural committee is a s___ show, Winston Wolkoff says she told president-elect Trump and Melania at Trump Tower in New York as the inauguration neared. They are disorganized, incompetent, and cant produce the material we need.

Cant find how or if this issue was ever resolved. I do know I remember when a friend sends me $26 mill. Every penny.
PS: Agree totally. Mary Trump is proof not all the apples in that barrel are rotten.
