Winston Wolkoff is at the center of a federal investigation into the inaugural committee after prosecutors found a recording of her talking with former longtime Trump lawyer Michael Cohen on one of Cohen’s seized cellphones, according to the Times. Schiff previously said that the committee would probe any “financial or other leverage” that “foreign actors” may have over Trump and his administration. It’s unclear what the committee requested. They also planned several events around the inauguration. Winston Wolkoff and a partner were paid to oversee the broadcast rights of the event and worked on a documentary about the inauguration. Winston Wolkoff, who was described by Town & Country as a "New York social fixture, event planner, and former Vogue staffer” was briefly hired as an informal adviser to the first lady before she was ousted when the Times reported that a company she formed six weeks earlier was paid more $25.8 million by the inaugural committee and she personally earned $1.6 million. Adam Schiff’s committee has requested documents and an interview with Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a close friend of Melania and a top contractor to Trump’s inaugural, the New York Times reported. The House Intelligence Committee asked a close friend of first lady Melania Trump for documents related to President Trump’s inaugural committee, which paid her company more than $25 million.Ĭalifornia Rep.
