Shogren has two final questions for us on Wyss: 1) “Does John deny/confirm the amount $87,000 that he got from HJW Foundation according to what was reported by various media, incl NYT” and in a disclosure form she found online posted by the Washington Examiner’s Elliot Smilowitz (date unknown). Form says $87,063.37. 2) Is the disclosure form she found online authentic? Here’s the link to the form she’s talking about: http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1227013-john-podesta-white-house-financial-disclosure-form.html. It does look like the authentic form, but it’s not our fault that the WH isn’t getting back to her, and you’re under no obligation to confirm this. Tough to respond in the negative without sounding uber-defensive. How do you want to play this? “Mr. Podesta confirms he received compensation (from the HWJ Foundation) for his consulting services in 2013 and refers to the White House Press Office any questions on authenticity of their required financial disclosure forms.” — — — — — Forwarded message — — — — — From: Elizabeth Shogren <shogren@hcn.org> Date: Wed, May 6, 2015 at 3:36 PM Subject: (In case white house doesn’t get back to me in time) Is that disclosure form I sent to you authentic?
