Didn’t you use Kallstrom for some of the investigative stuff re: Paradigm?

> Trump donates $1M to veterans’ charity
>
>
> Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump <http://thehill.com/people/donald-trump> has fulfilled a four-month-old promise to donate $1 million to a military veterans’ charity, according to a new report.
>
> Trump pledged that amount to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, according to The Washington Post <https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/05/24/four-months-later-donald-trump-says-he-gave-1-million-to-veterans-group/>, which helps families of fallen marines and federal law enforcement officials. The newspaper had earlier questioned whether the billionaire had made good on his vow to donate to veterans' charities.
> Trump called the home of foundation chairman James K. Kallstrom, the Post added, offering the former FBI official the surprise contribution.
>
> “I guess he wants to take care of the vets,” said Sue Kallstrom, James Kallstrom’s wife. "The foundation is thrilled, because the [money] is going to help a lot of people. Especially the children.”
>
> Trump skipped a GOP presidential debate in January, arguing that he would rather fundraise for military veterans’ causes instead.
>
> He has since repeatedly touted the event’s haul as nearly $6 million, with critics questioning if that amount has truly benefited the designated charities.
>
> Trump on Tuesday defended <http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/281053-trump-suggests-dishonest-media-investigate-the-clinton-foundation> his philanthropy while blasting detractors.
>
> “I raised almost $6 million for the veterans, including putting up $1 million of my own money,” he said in an Instagram video.
>
> “I had no obligation to do anything or to do so, and I got nothing but bad press from the dishonest media,” Trump added. "It is absolutely disgraceful.”
>
> Reports emerged <http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/280716-trump-raised-15-million-less-for-vets-than-stated-report> last week that Trump’s fundraiser actually raised $4.5 million, three-quarters of what he initially claimed.
