Senior Trump official embellished resume, had face on fake TIME cover

WASHINGTON — A senior Trump administration official has embellished her resume with misleading claims about her professional background — even creating a fake TIME magazine cover with her face on it — raising questions about her qualifications to hold a top position at the State Department.

An NBC News investigation found that Mina Chang, the deputy assistant secretary in the State Department's Bureau of Conflict and Stability Operations, has inflated her educational achievements — like claiming, falsely, to be a Harvard grad — and exaggerated the scope of her nonprofit's work.

Whatever her qualifications, Chang had a key connection in the Trump administration. Brian Bulatao, a top figure in the State Department and longtime friend of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, attended a fundraiser for her nonprofit in Dallas and once donated $5,500 to her charity, according to a former colleague of Chang's.

Chang, who assumed her post in April, also invented a role on a UN panel, claimed she had addressed both the Democratic and Republican national conventions, and implied she had testified before Congress.

Typical.

I wonder if there is a trend here. Two people who were on the cover of “fake” Time magazine are holding jobs that they are grossly unqualified and unprepared to hold.

Trump: I hire only the best people.

In fairness, it sounds like per Mina Chang's resume, she was one of the best. The only real problem was that her resume wasn't grounded in reality. I'm sure there are alternative facts which show that she was truly one of the best.
