Trump Nominee’s Media Nonprofit Is Under Investigation: WaPo

The D.C. attorney general is looking into why Trump’s pick to head the Agency for Global Media allegedly paid himself so much.

President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees Voice of America and other government-funded media properties, is under investigation for allegedly misusing his nonprofit’s money, The Washington Post reports. Michael Pack, a conservative filmmaker, ran Public Media Lab, a Washington, D.C. nonprofit, which paid Pack’s production company, Manifold Productions, $1.6 million over the course of eight years. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) said the D.C. attorney general is investigating Peck over whether his use of the funds was “unlawful and whether he improperly used those funds to benefit himself.”
