'President Trump chooses inexperienced woman who planned his son Eric's
wedding to run N.Y. federal housing programs

She’s arranged tournaments at Trump golf courses, served as the liaison
to the Trump family during his presidential campaign, and even arranged
Eric Trump’s wedding.

Now President Trump has appointed longtime loyalist Lynne Patton — who
has zero housing experience and claims a law degree the school says she
never earned — to run the office that oversees federal housing programs
in New York.

Patton was appointed Wednesday to head up the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development’s Region II, which includes New York and New
Jersey, where she’ll oversee distribution of billions of taxpayer dollars.'

'From 2011 through January, she also helped run the Eric Trump
Foundation, a charity that's now under investigation by state Attorney
General Eric Schneiderman.

She also claims on her LinkedIn page to have obtained a juris doctorate
degree in 2000 from Quinnipiac University School of Law in Connecticut.
Next to the J.D. notation is written (N/A) without explanation.

On Thursday school registrar Jim Benson said Patton attended for two
semesters but did not graduate.

She also listed Yale University but HUD officials couldn’t explain why
that was there. Patton, who begins her Region II job July 5, did not
return calls seeking comment.'

That's terrible.

OTOH she's no more incompetent than Trump and a lot of his staff, so she'll fit right in.
