President Donald Trump's nominee to lead a federal media organization has been funding his own private film company with donations from a nonprofit that he runs.
The details about Pack's business dealings were revealed as senators review his nomination and Democrats begin to scrutinize him.President Donald Trump's nominee to lead a federal media organization has been funding his own private film company with donations from a nonprofit that he runs. Since 2011, Pack's nonprofit, the Public Media Lab, has listed only Manifold as the benefactor of these donations and consistently describes the purpose of the grant as "for the production of educational films." That includes the latest filing from 2017, when the group wrote a $300,000 check to Manifold.
The phone number listed on the disclosure is identical to the one listed on Manifold Production's website. It's unclear what happened after Manifold's company received the money. The firm did not return multiple requests for comment.
