Mina Chang denied any wrongdoing and called her resignation “a protest and not a surrender” in a strongly worded letter to her boss, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
Photo: Mina Chang Videos/Youtube Mina Chang, the senior Trump administration official who reportedly conned her way into a job at the State Department with an embellished résumé — including an extremely fake Time cover — officially resigned yesterday, after claims that she lied about even more of her background. Chang denied any wrongdoing and called her resignation “a protest and not a surrender” in a strongly worded letter to her boss, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Chang, who became the deputy assistant secretary in the State Department’s Bureau of Conflict and Stability Operations in April, may no longer work there, but she will have a place forever in the scammer pantheon. NBC first reported last week that Chang seemed to have heavily padded her résumé with several lies: Her State Department bio said she is an “alumna” of Harvard University and a graduate of a program at the Army War College, despite having a degree from neither. Curious.
Chang also claimed that her nonprofit, Linking the World, operates in dozens of countries and “impacts” thousands of people, despite only having a small staff and low-six-figure budget, reportedly with no employees working abroad.
On Monday, NBC discovered even more alleged misrepresentations; Chang reportedly resigned two and a half hours after the outlet asked her spokesperson for comment on them. These include lying about a humanitarian aid trip to Afghanistan in 2015: Chang reportedly claimed that some Afghan women in a photo with her were “in hiding,” when they were actually the wives of local employees of the defense contractor that paid for her trip, during which no aid was delivered.
Chang was reportedly being considered for an even more senior position that would oversee a budget of $1 billion, and was given the State Department post in the interim. Her candidacy was withdrawn in September because that job would have required confirmation by the Senate, which asked for more documents to back up her illustrious career. The State Department has not commented on her resignation.
