She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

Manafort and Gates pleaded not guilty in federal court Monday to all the charges announced earlier Monday, NPR's Barbara Sprunt reports. The two men were deemed a flight risk and put under house arrest.

Put in context of other reporting around the Russia story, it is a remarkable establishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court documents also establish that Russia promised \"thousands of emails\" that would have \"dirt\" on Hillary Clinton to Papadopoulos in April 2016. A trove of hacked Democratic emails was released by WikiLeaks three months later — in the midst of the Democratic National Convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I will tell you this, Russia: If you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,\" Trump said, appearing to encourage Russia to continue digging. His campaign denied he was doing that. \"I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Papadopoulos tried to set up additional meetings or contacts between people in the Trump campaign and Russians. There were many contacts, according to the court documents, which describe meetings or messages between Papadopoulos and at least two Russians, a \"professor\" in London and a woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what remains unknown is who are the high-ranking campaign officials Papadopoulos contacted and what did those other officials do, if anything, with information Papadopoulos shared?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is known, however, that Donald Trump Jr., the son of the billionaire, organized and took a meeting with Russian nationals, who also promised dirt on Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it's what you say,\" Trump Jr. wrote to the associate who set up the meeting, \"I love it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and a key adviser, also attended the meeting at Trump Tower in June 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the first time a connection between the Trump campaign and Russia's attempt to interfere in the 2016 election has been established by an ironclad official government source.

Trump named Papadopoulos as a foreign-policy adviser to the campaign. Sanders, however, dismissed him merely a \"volunteer member of an advisory council that met one time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders tried to pivot to the Clinton campaign instead, alleging it \"colluded\" with Russian intelligence to craft the so-called \"Steele Dossier.\" The dossier, which collected opposition research on Trump that eventually focused on his ties to Russia, was initially paid for by the conservative Washington Free Beacon website. The site \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/27/us/politics/trump-dossier-paul-singer.html\">is funded in large part \u003c/a>by conservative donor Paul Singer, who was a Trump skeptic and backer of Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio for president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research for the dossier was conducted by a firm called Fusion GPS, run by two former investigative reporters. They hired Chris Steele, a former British spy turned private investigator. He has ties to U.S. intelligence and is known as a Russia expert. As a specialist, they hired him to find more information about Trump's ties in Russia that they couldn't get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the primaries were over, the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee picked up the tab to keep the research going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders called the dossier as \"false information.\" Some of it has been confirmed by some news outlets. Some of it is incendiary and has not been independently confirmed. Sanders dismissed the meeting at Trump Tower between Trump Jr. and Russian nationals as simply \"a meeting that took place\" and \"routine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not routine. Opposition research is, but not seeking it from foreign governments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders, though, contended the Clinton campaign's and DNC's \"millions of dollars\" paid for the oppo-research file (that it never used) was far worse that Trump Jr.'s meeting — or anything coming out of Monday's court documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They took one meeting, and nothing came of it,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders also said the president had \"no reaction,\" because \"it doesn't have anything to do with us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Not the end of the Mueller investigation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be more details to come either from Mueller or the congressional committees that are investigating the Russia imbroglio. Court documents indicate that Papadopoulos has met with the government \"on numerous occasions to provide information and answer questions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is also investigating Russia-Trump ties, called Monday's developments in a statement \"a significant and sobering step in what will be a complex and likely lengthy investigation by the Special Counsel. That is why it is imperative that Congress take action now to protect the independence of the Special Counsel, wherever or however high his investigation may lead.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His office also said he wants bipartisan members of Congress to \"make clear\" to President Trump \"that issuing pardons to any of his associates or to himself would be unacceptable, and result in immediate, bipartisan action by Congress.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has the unfettered ability to pardon anyone from federal crimes. But that only applies to \u003cem>federal \u003c/em>crimes. Some officials, including Manafort, could also face charges at the state level — in New York, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warner also put the guilty plea and indictments in the context of broader developments on the Trump-Russia investigation over the last several months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is just the latest in a series of undisclosed contacts, misleading public statements, potentially compromising information, and highly questionable actions from the time of the Trump campaign that together, remain a cause for deep concern and continued investigation,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are indications that Papadopoulos is cooperating with federal agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is in the best interest of our client, George Papadopoulos, that we refrain from commenting on George's case,\" his lawyers, Thomas M. Breen and Robert W. Stanley, said in a short statement obtained by NPR's Carrie Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They then added: \"We will have the opportunity to comment on George's involvement when called upon by the Court at a later date. We look forward to telling all of the details of George's story at that time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and other conservatives have tried to sully Mueller's name, hoping to delegitimize his findings as politically motivated. One Mueller ally, fired former FBI Director James Comey, took to his newly revealed Twitter account to seemingly — and cryptically — back up the special counsel:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FormerBu/status/925070993692987394\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The charges\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort and Gates, were charged with \"conspiracy against the United States,\" \"conspiracy to launder money\" and other offenses. The two were expected in court in Washington by the afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department indictment on Manafort and Gates contains 12 counts: \"conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading FARA statements, false statements, and seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Papadopoulos\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/30/560816481/trumps-former-foreign-policy-advisor-pleads-guilty-to-lying-to-the-fbi\"> pleaded guilty to making false statements\u003c/a> to the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Manafort and Gates indictment unsealed on Monday morning does not make any reference to Russia's influence campaign against the presidential election, but it does allege extensive financial ties between Manafort and Gates and powerful Ukrainians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Papadopoulos materials, on the other hand, detail the many contacts investigators say he had with Russian-linked operatives. He met at least two people, a man and a woman, who the FBI says were working for the Russian government and had boasted to him about the help it could offer the Trump campaign against Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort and Gates \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/30/560782357/paul-manafort-is-reportedly-told-to-surrender-to-federal-agents\">turned themselves in to the FBI\u003c/a> on Monday morning. Papadopoulos' status was unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort appeared at the FBI's Washington field office just after 8 a.m. with his lawyer, Kevin Downing. Manafort was escorted into the building by an FBI agent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Appearing after his client's plea, however, Downing sounded like his client and the Trump campaign were one and the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, I think you all saw today that President Donald Trump was correct — there is no evidence that Mr. Manafort or the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government,\" Downing said outside federal court, per NPR's Miles Parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He contended that Manafort was merely representing \"pro-European Union campaigns for the Ukrainian--.\" He added that \"he was seeking to further democracy and to help the Ukraine come closer to the United States and the EU.\" He then pointed out that his client's work in Ukraine ended in 2014 \"over two years before Mr. Manafort served in the Trump campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the indictment was being brought \"using a very novel theory,\" regarding a federal filing under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. He noted that FARA has only been used half a dozen times in the last 50 years and with only one conviction. He's right that the act is seldom-used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downing then thundered, \"The second thing about this indictment that I myself find most ridiculous is the claim that maintaining offshore accounts to bring all your funds into the United States as a scheme to conceal from the United States government is ridiculous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment to NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"yCv1Q6F0dBXv40CZSzEFwLnIOIrqrjQk\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The materials \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/sco\">are online here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Papadopoulos court documents \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=4163471-George-Papadopoulos-Documents\">are available here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Ukraine connection\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort headed Trump's campaign from June to August of 2016. He stepped down after reports emerged about his business relationship with pro-Russian leaders in Ukraine, allegedly replete with millions of dollars in cash payments and undisclosed lobbying efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The indictment released on Monday charges Manafort and Gates with the extensive use of offshore bank accounts, through which flowed more than $75 million. The document alleges that Manafort laundered more than $18 million of that to conceal it from U.S. authorities and Gates transferred more than $3 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort grew wealthy over a colorful career in his four decades as a Republican operative and lobbyist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He worked for Republican campaigns in the late 1970s and early 1980s before moving into the lucrative world of international lobbying, where he teamed up with Roger Stone to found the firm Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort represented a host of unsavory characters over the years, including Angolan rebel leader Jonas Savimbi, Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos and Zaire's leader Mobutu Sese Seko.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 2000s, Manafort headed to Ukraine to work as an adviser to the pro-Russian politician Viktor Yanukovych, helping him win the presidency in 2010. Yanukovych was overthrown by a wave of popular protests four years later. He fled to Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort later became an early backer of Trump, eventually assuming the role of chairman of his insurgent presidential campaign. Trump and the White House have lately downplayed the role that Manafort played in the 2016 operation. But at the time, their relationship was said to be close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort is \"the one person in the room that calls him 'Donald,' \" as Republican operative Scott Reed \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/07/16/486085582/meet-paul-manafort-the-washington-insider-running-trumps-campaign\">told NPR last year\u003c/a>. \"It's not 'Mr. Trump.' It's 'Donald.' 'Come on, Donald; we've got to do the right thing here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for Manafort did not respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=4163376-Manafort-Gates-Indictment-Filed-and-Redacted\">Read the full Manafort indictment here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=4163471-George-Papadopoulos-Documents\">Read the court documents related to Papadopoulos here\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Opposition research is, but not seeking it from foreign governments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders, though, contended the Clinton campaign's and DNC's \"millions of dollars\" paid for the oppo-research file (that it never used) was far worse that Trump Jr.'s meeting — or anything coming out of Monday's court documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They took one meeting, and nothing came of it,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders also said the president had \"no reaction,\" because \"it doesn't have anything to do with us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Not the end of the Mueller investigation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be more details to come either from Mueller or the congressional committees that are investigating the Russia imbroglio. Court documents indicate that Papadopoulos has met with the government \"on numerous occasions to provide information and answer questions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is also investigating Russia-Trump ties, called Monday's developments in a statement \"a significant and sobering step in what will be a complex and likely lengthy investigation by the Special Counsel. That is why it is imperative that Congress take action now to protect the independence of the Special Counsel, wherever or however high his investigation may lead.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His office also said he wants bipartisan members of Congress to \"make clear\" to President Trump \"that issuing pardons to any of his associates or to himself would be unacceptable, and result in immediate, bipartisan action by Congress.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has the unfettered ability to pardon anyone from federal crimes. But that only applies to \u003cem>federal \u003c/em>crimes. Some officials, including Manafort, could also face charges at the state level — in New York, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warner also put the guilty plea and indictments in the context of broader developments on the Trump-Russia investigation over the last several months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is just the latest in a series of undisclosed contacts, misleading public statements, potentially compromising information, and highly questionable actions from the time of the Trump campaign that together, remain a cause for deep concern and continued investigation,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are indications that Papadopoulos is cooperating with federal agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is in the best interest of our client, George Papadopoulos, that we refrain from commenting on George's case,\" his lawyers, Thomas M. Breen and Robert W. Stanley, said in a short statement obtained by NPR's Carrie Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They then added: \"We will have the opportunity to comment on George's involvement when called upon by the Court at a later date. We look forward to telling all of the details of George's story at that time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and other conservatives have tried to sully Mueller's name, hoping to delegitimize his findings as politically motivated. One Mueller ally, fired former FBI Director James Comey, took to his newly revealed Twitter account to seemingly — and cryptically — back up the special counsel:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The two were expected in court in Washington by the afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department indictment on Manafort and Gates contains 12 counts: \"conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading FARA statements, false statements, and seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Papadopoulos\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/30/560816481/trumps-former-foreign-policy-advisor-pleads-guilty-to-lying-to-the-fbi\"> pleaded guilty to making false statements\u003c/a> to the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Manafort and Gates indictment unsealed on Monday morning does not make any reference to Russia's influence campaign against the presidential election, but it does allege extensive financial ties between Manafort and Gates and powerful Ukrainians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Papadopoulos materials, on the other hand, detail the many contacts investigators say he had with Russian-linked operatives. He met at least two people, a man and a woman, who the FBI says were working for the Russian government and had boasted to him about the help it could offer the Trump campaign against Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort and Gates \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/30/560782357/paul-manafort-is-reportedly-told-to-surrender-to-federal-agents\">turned themselves in to the FBI\u003c/a> on Monday morning. Papadopoulos' status was unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort appeared at the FBI's Washington field office just after 8 a.m. with his lawyer, Kevin Downing. Manafort was escorted into the building by an FBI agent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Appearing after his client's plea, however, Downing sounded like his client and the Trump campaign were one and the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, I think you all saw today that President Donald Trump was correct — there is no evidence that Mr. Manafort or the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government,\" Downing said outside federal court, per NPR's Miles Parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He contended that Manafort was merely representing \"pro-European Union campaigns for the Ukrainian--.\" He added that \"he was seeking to further democracy and to help the Ukraine come closer to the United States and the EU.\" He then pointed out that his client's work in Ukraine ended in 2014 \"over two years before Mr. Manafort served in the Trump campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the indictment was being brought \"using a very novel theory,\" regarding a federal filing under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. He noted that FARA has only been used half a dozen times in the last 50 years and with only one conviction. He's right that the act is seldom-used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downing then thundered, \"The second thing about this indictment that I myself find most ridiculous is the claim that maintaining offshore accounts to bring all your funds into the United States as a scheme to conceal from the United States government is ridiculous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment to NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The materials \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/sco\">are online here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Papadopoulos court documents \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=4163471-George-Papadopoulos-Documents\">are available here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Ukraine connection\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort headed Trump's campaign from June to August of 2016. He stepped down after reports emerged about his business relationship with pro-Russian leaders in Ukraine, allegedly replete with millions of dollars in cash payments and undisclosed lobbying efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The indictment released on Monday charges Manafort and Gates with the extensive use of offshore bank accounts, through which flowed more than $75 million. The document alleges that Manafort laundered more than $18 million of that to conceal it from U.S. authorities and Gates transferred more than $3 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort grew wealthy over a colorful career in his four decades as a Republican operative and lobbyist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He worked for Republican campaigns in the late 1970s and early 1980s before moving into the lucrative world of international lobbying, where he teamed up with Roger Stone to found the firm Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort represented a host of unsavory characters over the years, including Angolan rebel leader Jonas Savimbi, Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos and Zaire's leader Mobutu Sese Seko.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 2000s, Manafort headed to Ukraine to work as an adviser to the pro-Russian politician Viktor Yanukovych, helping him win the presidency in 2010. Yanukovych was overthrown by a wave of popular protests four years later. He fled to Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort later became an early backer of Trump, eventually assuming the role of chairman of his insurgent presidential campaign. Trump and the White House have lately downplayed the role that Manafort played in the 2016 operation. But at the time, their relationship was said to be close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort is \"the one person in the room that calls him 'Donald,' \" as Republican operative Scott Reed \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/07/16/486085582/meet-paul-manafort-the-washington-insider-running-trumps-campaign\">told NPR last year\u003c/a>. \"It's not 'Mr. Trump.' It's 'Donald.'

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly granted a preliminary injunction to keep the policy from going into effect while the court case moves forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result of her injunction, the military policy on transgender service members will \"revert to the status quo,\" Kollar-Kotelly writes — that is, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/30/484192442/pentagon-says-transgender-troops-can-now-serve-openly\">the policy that was in place\u003c/a> before Trump's announcement. That policy allowed trans members currently in the military to serve openly, and for openly trans people to be admitted to serve in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kollar-Kotelly did not block the portion of the presidential memorandum that blocked military resources from being used to fund \"sex reassignment surgical procedures,\" saying her court does not have jurisdiction over that policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before 2016, service members who came out as trans were \"caught in limbo,\" as NPR has \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/30/484192442/pentagon-says-transgender-troops-can-now-serve-openly\">previously reported\u003c/a>. They weren't eligible for promotion, and were treated according to their gender assigned at birth. Troops who came out as trans could be discharged purely on the basis of their gender identity. Aspiring soldiers who were openly trans were considered unfit for duty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"afiaLYWGFXakoUOoXCnKxgi1yXnTAkmj\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2016, after lengthy deliberation, the Pentagon announced a policy change. \"Effective immediately, transgender Americans may serve openly,\" then-Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said. And within a year, he said, the military would no longer turn away recruits on the basis of trans identity. (The deadline was later extended by six months.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, this July, Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/07/26/539470211/trump-says-transgender-people-cant-serve-in-military\">tweeted\u003c/a> that \"the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military,\" an announcement that caught many people (including leaders at the Defense Department) \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/07/27/539559582/5-unanswered-questions-about-trumps-ban-on-transgender-troops\">by surprise\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tweet was followed by an official \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/08/25/presidential-memorandum-secretary-defense-and-secretary-homeland\">presidential memo\u003c/a> in August. The memo called for trans members of the military to, once again, be eligible for discharge based on their gender identity, and for would-be service members who are openly trans to be prohibited from joining the military, effective on Jan. 1, 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo did not go as far as Trump's tweets. For instance, whether or not individuals currently serving \u003cem>would \u003c/em>be discharged, among other elements of implementing the ban, would be up to Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, according to the memo. Any steps taken should be \"appropriate and consistent with military effectiveness and lethality, budgetary constraints and applicable law,\" the instructions stated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"0OAdV6xJ7hfhPyVKbrm32s9Q4ugW2YFF\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new preliminary injunction, this portion of the memo is unenforceable and the Pentagon policy is once again in effect. That means, unless the policy changes again, openly trans people could begin joining the military on Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit against the Trump administration was initially filed by five anonymous service members, \"Jane Doe\" 1-5, from different branches, with decades of collective service and multiple overseas deployments between them. The \"Jane Doe\" plaintiffs were later joined by a \"John Doe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two named plaintiffs, one at the Naval Academy and another in the Army ROTC, also joined the lawsuit as aspiring service members who, as openly transgender individuals, would be blocked from their career path by the president's memorandum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge ruled that the plaintiffs have persuasive claims that their Fifth Amendment rights are being violated, and have a good chance of succeeding in their court case. She noted, among other things, that the president's policy was announced with little apparent deliberation, \"disfavors a class of historically persecuted and politically powerless individuals\" and contradicts the conclusions of military leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also wrote \"the reasons given for [the directives] do not appear to be supported by any facts\" — for instance, there is \"practically no explanation at all\" about how trans service members would harm \"unit cohesion,\" she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo released by the president also prohibits the military from spending any resources on surgeries related to a service member's gender transition. Covering transition-related health needs was one of the policy changes the Pentagon announced in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kollar-Kotelly said she could not issue a preliminary injunction on that element of the memo, because none of the plaintiffs in this case had proven that they would personally be harmed by that clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Human Rights Campaign called the injunction \"an important step in the ongoing efforts to protect transgender service members.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This case is not the only challenge to Trump's trans service member ban. The ACLU has a separate challenge pending in Maryland, on behalf of several named active service members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As all of these cases move forward, we will continue to work to ensure that transgender service members are treated with the equal treatment they deserve,\"ACLU senior staff attorney Joshua Block said in a statement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

(The deadline was later extended by six months.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, this July, Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/07/26/539470211/trump-says-transgender-people-cant-serve-in-military\">tweeted\u003c/a> that \"the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military,\" an announcement that caught many people (including leaders at the Defense Department) \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/07/27/539559582/5-unanswered-questions-about-trumps-ban-on-transgender-troops\">by surprise\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tweet was followed by an official \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/08/25/presidential-memorandum-secretary-defense-and-secretary-homeland\">presidential memo\u003c/a> in August. The memo called for trans members of the military to, once again, be eligible for discharge based on their gender identity, and for would-be service members who are openly trans to be prohibited from joining the military, effective on Jan. 1, 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo did not go as far as Trump's tweets. For instance, whether or not individuals currently serving \u003cem>would \u003c/em>be discharged, among other elements of implementing the ban, would be up to Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, according to the memo. Any steps taken should be \"appropriate and consistent with military effectiveness and lethality, budgetary constraints and applicable law,\" the instructions stated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new preliminary injunction, this portion of the memo is unenforceable and the Pentagon policy is once again in effect. That means, unless the policy changes again, openly trans people could begin joining the military on Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit against the Trump administration was initially filed by five anonymous service members, \"Jane Doe\" 1-5, from different branches, with decades of collective service and multiple overseas deployments between them. The \"Jane Doe\" plaintiffs were later joined by a \"John Doe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two named plaintiffs, one at the Naval Academy and another in the Army ROTC, also joined the lawsuit as aspiring service members who, as openly transgender individuals, would be blocked from their career path by the president's memorandum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge ruled that the plaintiffs have persuasive claims that their Fifth Amendment rights are being violated, and have a good chance of succeeding in their court case. She noted, among other things, that the president's policy was announced with little apparent deliberation, \"disfavors a class of historically persecuted and politically powerless individuals\" and contradicts the conclusions of military leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also wrote \"the reasons given for [the directives] do not appear to be supported by any facts\" — for instance, there is \"practically no explanation at all\" about how trans service members would harm \"unit cohesion,\" she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo released by the president also prohibits the military from spending any resources on surgeries related to a service member's gender transition. Covering transition-related health needs was one of the policy changes the Pentagon announced in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kollar-Kotelly said she could not issue a preliminary injunction on that element of the memo, because none of the plaintiffs in this case had proven that they would personally be harmed by that clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Human Rights Campaign called the injunction \"an important step in the ongoing efforts to protect transgender service members.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This case is not the only challenge to Trump's trans service member ban. The ACLU has a separate challenge pending in Maryland, on behalf of several named active service members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As all of these cases move forward, we will continue to work to ensure that transgender service members are treated with the equal treatment they deserve,\"ACLU senior staff attorney Joshua Block said in a statement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

They wanted to make a film about the musical Carters (as in June Carter).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are multiple projects on the list featuring melodramatic storylines about naval officers, like \"That Hamilton Woman\" and \"Navy Cross.\" (Bannon was himself a lieutenant in the Navy.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some hints of Bannon's ideology in that list, like \"Weedpatch,\" a documentary series that would tell the true stories of working-class struggle that inspired \u003cem>The Grapes Of Wrath\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of these projects ever came to fruition.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How Ronald Reagan Changed Bannon's Trajectory\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Later in 2004, Bannon got involved with a project that actually got made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a documentary about Ronald Reagan called \u003cem>In The Face Of Evil: Reagan's War In Word And Deed\u003c/em>, and the film dramatically changed his trajectory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film casts Reagan's struggle against the Soviet Union as a war between good and evil. The film's narrator describes communism as just one more example of \"the beast,\" a kind of recurrent evil force that gave the world Bolshevism, fascism and Nazism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film was not a major success. It has an 11 percent rating on the review aggregator \u003ca href=\"https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/reagan_in_the_face_of_evil\">Rotten Tomatoes\u003c/a>, and the film grossed only $110,000, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=inthefaceofevil.htm\">Box Office Mojo\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ZxOpmOi54CF9gVKosJbpzL8N9m6WWOaE\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then Bannon screened the film at a conservative film festival in Los Angeles, and according to Joshua Green, author of \u003cem>Devil's Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Storming of the Presidency\u003c/em>, that's where Bannon met Andrew Breitbart. At the time, Breitbart had just co-written a book that excoriated Hollywood's culture of celebrity, and would soon start making plans for his own website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breitbart often described using the tools of Hollywood to take down what he saw as the liberal media and political elite. Bannon was attracted to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Breitbart had this effect on a lot of people, not just Steve Bannon,\" Joshua Green says, \"the idea that he was this kind of pied piper, who was doing something very fun and exciting and important and doing it, you know, in the belly of the beast — in liberal Hollywood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around that same time, Bannon also met David Bossie, the head of the conservative group Citizens United, a key source of funding for conservative documentaries. Bannon and Bossie would both go on years later to hold top positions in Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at that point, the list of projects from Steve Bannon and Julia Jones changes. Jones provided NPR with a second document from November 2004, which includes many overtly partisan projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some examples:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\"Michael Moore Hates America\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"Jihad: The War Against the West\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"Is It True What They Say About Ann (The Ann Coulter Project)\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The bottom of the document also includes this paragraph, \"The key to the success of the conservative documentary lies in tying together compatible funding sources, e.g., the NRA, church and political groups, while leveraging off the media base of AM Talk Radio and Cable news.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At some point, Jones says, Bannon told her he wanted to be \"the Leni Riefenstahl of the GOP.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riefenstahl was an infamous and highly effective German propagandist, who made films for the Nazis. And it seems Bannon has \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/12/steve-bannon-films-movies-documentaries-trump-hollywood-214495\">embraced the association.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones says Bannon simply became too political for her, and the two eventually parted ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"sr2iCqD79CTaxuIvAZFJECKCyehDKALI\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Subsequently, Bannon focused on political documentaries like \u003cem>District of Corruption\u003c/em>,\u003cem> Generation Zero \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Battle for America\u003c/em>. And while obtaining funding for independent films proved difficult, Bannon found a steadier stream of funding for conservative films.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That strategy ended up propelling Bannon to Breitbart News and eventually his job as chief strategist at the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bannon learned from Andrew Breitbart how to use the tools of Hollywood against its elites.

And we thought it was brilliant!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones provided NPR with a document listing their planned projects as of March 2004, none of which are overtly partisan. This document has not previously been reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On that list was a TV show about ancient philosophers and \"big thinkers\" called \"Those Who Knew.\" (\"He was very into Plato, very into Marcus Aurelius,\" Jones says.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones says they also talked about developing a film about the Carter family — but not the political Carters. They wanted to make a film about the musical Carters (as in June Carter).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are multiple projects on the list featuring melodramatic storylines about naval officers, like \"That Hamilton Woman\" and \"Navy Cross.\" (Bannon was himself a lieutenant in the Navy.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some hints of Bannon's ideology in that list, like \"Weedpatch,\" a documentary series that would tell the true stories of working-class struggle that inspired \u003cem>The Grapes Of Wrath\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of these projects ever came to fruition.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How Ronald Reagan Changed Bannon's Trajectory\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Later in 2004, Bannon got involved with a project that actually got made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a documentary about Ronald Reagan called \u003cem>In The Face Of Evil: Reagan's War In Word And Deed\u003c/em>, and the film dramatically changed his trajectory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film casts Reagan's struggle against the Soviet Union as a war between good and evil. The film's narrator describes communism as just one more example of \"the beast,\" a kind of recurrent evil force that gave the world Bolshevism, fascism and Nazism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film was not a major success. It has an 11 percent rating on the review aggregator \u003ca href=\"https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/reagan_in_the_face_of_evil\">Rotten Tomatoes\u003c/a>, and the film grossed only $110,000, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=inthefaceofevil.htm\">Box Office Mojo\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then Bannon screened the film at a conservative film festival in Los Angeles, and according to Joshua Green, author of \u003cem>Devil's Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Storming of the Presidency\u003c/em>, that's where Bannon met Andrew Breitbart. At the time, Breitbart had just co-written a book that excoriated Hollywood's culture of celebrity, and would soon start making plans for his own website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breitbart often described using the tools of Hollywood to take down what he saw as the liberal media and political elite. Bannon was attracted to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Breitbart had this effect on a lot of people, not just Steve Bannon,\" Joshua Green says, \"the idea that he was this kind of pied piper, who was doing something very fun and exciting and important and doing it, you know, in the belly of the beast — in liberal Hollywood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around that same time, Bannon also met David Bossie, the head of the conservative group Citizens United, a key source of funding for conservative documentaries. Bannon and Bossie would both go on years later to hold top positions in Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at that point, the list of projects from Steve Bannon and Julia Jones changes. Jones provided NPR with a second document from November 2004, which includes many overtly partisan projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some examples:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\"Michael Moore Hates America\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"Jihad: The War Against the West\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"Is It True What They Say About Ann (The Ann Coulter Project)\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The bottom of the document also includes this paragraph, \"The key to the success of the conservative documentary lies in tying together compatible funding sources, e.g., the NRA, church and political groups, while leveraging off the media base of AM Talk Radio and Cable news.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At some point, Jones says, Bannon told her he wanted to be \"the Leni Riefenstahl of the GOP.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riefenstahl was an infamous and highly effective German propagandist, who made films for the Nazis. And it seems Bannon has \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/12/steve-bannon-films-movies-documentaries-trump-hollywood-214495\">embraced the association.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones says Bannon simply became too political for her, and the two eventually parted ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Subsequently, Bannon focused on political documentaries like \u003cem>District of Corruption\u003c/em>,\u003cem> Generation Zero \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Battle for America\u003c/em>. And while obtaining funding for independent films proved difficult, Bannon found a steadier stream of funding for conservative films.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That strategy ended up propelling Bannon to Breitbart News and eventually his job as chief strategist at the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Throughout his presidential campaign and since, President Trump has made bold assertions about his charitable giving. But as the \u003cem>Washington Post\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/washington-posts-david-fahrenthold-wins-pulitzer-prize-for-dogged-reporting-of-trumps-philanthropy/2017/04/10/dd535d2e-1dfb-11e7-be2a-3a1fb24d4671_story.html?utm_term=.9c73d5f29b4a\"> has thoroughly documented\u003c/a>, those boasts of philanthropy don't always stand up to scrutiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now NPR has taken a closer look at the charitable-giving claims made by a Trump property, the Trump National Golf Club, Los Angeles. We have found that the golf club's charitable giving has followed the same pattern — falling far short of what the organization claimed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As recently as this summer, the club declared on its website: \"We are proud to have provided $5 million to the following charitable causes since our opening.\" It listed nearly 200 recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For weeks, NPR's \u003cem>Embedded\u003c/em> podcast and conflicts-of-interest team combed through that list to verify the assertions.\u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2797213/Trump-Donations.pdf\"> NPR cross-referenced the golf club's website with a document\u003c/a> that the Trump campaign gave to The Associated Press in 2015, detailing charitable gifts from 2010 to 2015. NPR also called and emailed dozens of organizations to find out whether they have a record of a donation from the Trump National Golf Club, the Trump Organization or VH Property Corp., the LLC that technically owns the golf course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That reporting suggests the club's donations have fallen well short of $5 million and are much closer to approximately $800,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/558352411/558558747\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR has repeatedly contacted the Trump Organization and the golf club manager, sending questions via phone calls, emails, letters and a fax message. They have not responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the club did change its assertions. In early September, about a month into NPR's reporting, the Trump Organization took down the list of organizations from its website and removed the claim about having donated $5 million. (You can still view the page via the \u003ca href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20170630114313/http:/www.trumpnationallosangeles.com/philanthrophy\">Internet Archive\u003c/a> as well as \u003ca href=\"http://archive.is/http:/www.trumpnationallosangeles.com/philanthrophy\">archive.is\u003c/a>. For comparison, \u003ca href=\"http://www.trumpnationallosangeles.com/philanthrophy\">here is the current webpage\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"i2WprzrzHgqq65wrWZp8TDWVySTgvt86\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be clear, NPR did confirm that the club, located outside Los Angeles in Rancho Palos Verdes, has made charitable donations. The discrepancies involve the amounts of gifts and numbers of recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through interviews and examinations of publicly available documents, here's what NPR has found:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Seventeen organizations listed on the Trump National website said that they could not find any record of a donation from the golf club.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Several organizations listed on the website are not charities at all. The list includes a city government, a state agency and a branch of the U.S. military.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Most organizations received small contributions from the golf club, including donations of $140. Most of the contributions to organizations on the list were not in the form of cash but in-kind donations, like a gift certificate for a round of golf or \"Sunday brunch for two.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In the end, NPR was able to confirm only about $800,000 in donations, less than one-fifth of what was claimed.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[TrumpGiving]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Missing Donations and Discrepancies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As several organizations pointed out, the fact that 17 of them could not find a record of a donation does not necessarily mean they never received one. It could suggest that the donations were not significant enough to be remembered or written down, or it might be chalked up to a lack of precision in naming the recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, the Trump Campaign document listed more than $21,000 in donations to the \"UCLA Foundation\" and the \"UCLA Women's Golf Program.\" Brian Haas, a spokesman for the university, said UCLA searched multiple times for records of donations, but came up empty-handed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are unaware of these particular donations,\" Haas wrote in an email. \"If you can coax some additional information from the Trump Organization, perhaps that would help.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"rFyxKo32ECifNdOhdcK1YHBkIwYr2KC9\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump website also cited a donation to \"Cystic Fibrosis\" — as in the genetic disease, rather than a specific charity supporting research. The Trump Campaign document also has an entry for a $1,182.50 donation to \"Child Abuse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several organizations listed are not charities at all, such as the City of Avalon, California, and the California Department of Veteran Affairs. Both said they could find no record of a donation from Trump or his golf club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's the entry for a $152.14 donation to the \"U.S. Department of the Navy.\" (That amount indicates the donation was for a gift certificate for \"Sunday brunch or two\" at the golf club.) In an email, a Navy official told NPR, \"We have no information about whether or how this specific gift was given to the Navy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a handful of organizations in the Rancho Palos Verdes area do report receiving \"generous\" cash contributions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example comes from John Williams.

But as the \u003cem>Washington Post\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/washington-posts-david-fahrenthold-wins-pulitzer-prize-for-dogged-reporting-of-trumps-philanthropy/2017/04/10/dd535d2e-1dfb-11e7-be2a-3a1fb24d4671_story.html?utm_term=.9c73d5f29b4a\"> has thoroughly documented\u003c/a>, those boasts of philanthropy don't always stand up to scrutiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now NPR has taken a closer look at the charitable-giving claims made by a Trump property, the Trump National Golf Club, Los Angeles. We have found that the golf club's charitable giving has followed the same pattern — falling far short of what the organization claimed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As recently as this summer, the club declared on its website: \"We are proud to have provided $5 million to the following charitable causes since our opening.\" It listed nearly 200 recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For weeks, NPR's \u003cem>Embedded\u003c/em> podcast and conflicts-of-interest team combed through that list to verify the assertions.\u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2797213/Trump-Donations.pdf\"> NPR cross-referenced the golf club's website with a document\u003c/a> that the Trump campaign gave to The Associated Press in 2015, detailing charitable gifts from 2010 to 2015. NPR also called and emailed dozens of organizations to find out whether they have a record of a donation from the Trump National Golf Club, the Trump Organization or VH Property Corp., the LLC that technically owns the golf course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That reporting suggests the club's donations have fallen well short of $5 million and are much closer to approximately $800,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They have not responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the club did change its assertions. In early September, about a month into NPR's reporting, the Trump Organization took down the list of organizations from its website and removed the claim about having donated $5 million.

The discrepancies involve the amounts of gifts and numbers of recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through interviews and examinations of publicly available documents, here's what NPR has found:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Seventeen organizations listed on the Trump National website said that they could not find any record of a donation from the golf club.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Several organizations listed on the website are not charities at all. The list includes a city government, a state agency and a branch of the U.S. military.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Most organizations received small contributions from the golf club, including donations of $140. Most of the contributions to organizations on the list were not in the form of cash but in-kind donations, like a gift certificate for a round of golf or \"Sunday brunch for two.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In the end, NPR was able to confirm only about $800,000 in donations, less than one-fifth of what was claimed.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[TrumpGiving]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Missing Donations and Discrepancies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As several organizations pointed out, the fact that 17 of them could not find a record of a donation does not necessarily mean they never received one. It could suggest that the donations were not significant enough to be remembered or written down, or it might be chalked up to a lack of precision in naming the recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, the Trump Campaign document listed more than $21,000 in donations to the \"UCLA Foundation\" and the \"UCLA Women's Golf Program.\" Brian Haas, a spokesman for the university, said UCLA searched multiple times for records of donations, but came up empty-handed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are unaware of these particular donations,\" Haas wrote in an email. \"If you can coax some additional information from the Trump Organization, perhaps that would help.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump website also cited a donation to \"Cystic Fibrosis\" — as in the genetic disease, rather than a specific charity supporting research. The Trump Campaign document also has an entry for a $1,182.50 donation to \"Child Abuse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several organizations listed are not charities at all, such as the City of Avalon, California, and the California Department of Veteran Affairs. Both said they could find no record of a donation from Trump or his golf club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's the entry for a $152.14 donation to the \"U.S. Department of the Navy.\" (That amount indicates the donation was for a gift certificate for \"Sunday brunch or two\" at the golf club.) In an email, a Navy official told NPR, \"We have no information about whether or how this specific gift was given to the Navy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a handful of organizations in the Rancho Palos Verdes area do report receiving \"generous\" cash contributions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example comes from John Williams. A former Kiwanis Club president, Williams now runs the Peninsula Symphony, a small orchestra that performs free concerts. He says Trump helped support the Kiwanis Club's Palos Verdes Marathon from 2005 to 2007, with three donations of $15,000 each, and has supported the symphony through in-kind donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would have to say he's been a very good community supporter,\" Williams said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>In-kind Donations\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>NPR's other key finding was that overwhelmingly, charitable giving by Trump National involved gift certificates, such as the \"Sunday brunch for two\" or \"twosome for golf\" (worth approximately $600).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Washington Post\u003c/em> has \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-portrait-of-trump-the-donor-free-rounds-of-golf-but-no-personal-cash/2016/04/10/373b9b92-fb40-11e5-9140-e61d062438bb_story.html?utm_term=.fe3ad4ea93f4\">documented\u003c/a> that Trump properties around the country also prefer this type of donation.
