it talks about, you might remember, the iowa fundraiser in january 2016. this was set up in lieu of donald trump participating in the republican presidential debate. it was sort of counterprogramming that night, you might remember, and the foundation asserted that the iowa fundraiser was to benefit the veterans, to collect moneys for them. but the petition says that is not the case. it says, quote, the ivestigation revealed that the iowa fundraiser was planned, organized, financed and directed by the campaign with administrative assistance from the foundation. now, we have just gotten a skwa scathing response back to all of this from the foundation itself, and it says in part, quote, this is politics at its very worst. the foundation has donated over 19 million to worthy charitable causes, more than it even received. the president himself or through his companies has contributed more than $8 million. the reason the foundation was able to donate more than it took in is because it had too little expenses. this is unheard of for a charitable foundation. the ve

the incumbent here in iowa was named as the governor for trump's country. that's not what people are looking for. they're looking for change. they want some civility, they want a little truth. is it too much to ask for your president not to lie to you five times a day? i don't think that's asking too much, so you bet i'm standing up for democratic governors across the united states. >> no question the voters are always anxious for change. it's what kind of change they're going to get that winds up determining the election. >> they deserve it now. >> governor jay inslee from washington. thank you very much for coming to us from iowa, appreciate you making the case to our audience. >> you bet, thank you. >>> no matter where your head is on this issue, there is an irony at play here, president trump said the border crisis was about the law, right? that he was forced to separate families. and he was half right. the law is relevant, but only as a basis for asking him to fix what he did to those families. we have one of the main lawyers of the aclu. lee, thank yo

host: often here on book tv we hear about the iowa writers workshop. how is that sustained itself and what is it due to make it so successful? guest: it was the earliest workshop, so at the time that i apply to iowa there were really only three programs and now there's a gazillion, but that's a big change. there was iowa, stanford and hopkins, but iowa was like five times bigger than any of the other programs, so it's funny because at the time i was actually-- i dropped out of stanford. it was convenient to go to stanford. my boyfriend now husband was there, but i felt like this is a much bigger program like you will see more. there's more coming in and out, so i think i got that early, that early advantage. also, iowa did not have a shtick. hops-- hopkins had a little bit of a shtick, little bit because of john burrell and-- i what is always a place with a kind of let you be in kind and encouraged you to do whatever that meant. it was, for me, a fantastic choice as it happened because my first teacher there, very influential figure was james alan mcphe

coordinated illegally with the trump campaign on a fund-raiser for veterans in 2016 days before the iowa caucuses where the candidate announced a donation of his own. >> donald trump another great builder in new york now a politician, i can't stand this, a politician i don't want to be called a politician, all talk, no action. i refuse to be called a politician. donald trump gave $1 million. okay? >> $1 million. four months later after calling around to dozens of veterans charities david farenthold could not find a single one that received money from trump. it wasn't till he and other reporters started asking questions the president finally wrote a collect. >> i will say that the press should be ashamed of themselves. i send people collection of a lot of money. we'll give you the names which is what you want. instead of being like thank you very much mr. trump or trump did a good job, everyone said who got it, who got it. and you make me look very bad. >> again, he didn't write the checks until like the day before he held that event. farenthold's reporting on the trump foundation which w

i think that pruitt has betrayed the president. >> those are iowa's two republican senators. st takes it into the swamplan swampland. but then they take it to a higher degree. why does this guy still have a job? >> we talked about republicans being willing to stand up to trump. this is one area they have lost patience. scott pruitt must have the thickest skin in washington. he's taken all this incoming and he seems to have no shame. >> this is the thing, if you have no shame, it's going to be very hurtful for people, and where else have we seen that? i just -- it's been described to me as a problem the president doesn't want to deal with, including they now have a deputy administrator they like. but he hears from a lot of people who he thinks need their support, that pruitt is great, and this sun fair, and he always equates people being under attack with him. the volume -- >> i was going to say, maybe some of it is exaggerated. maybe some of it is the staff problem, not the administrator's problem. but, aides buying a used mattress from the trump hotel, $1,500 on 12 custom mad

campaign and what they are accusing the campaign of, it does point to you directly with regard to the iowaaucuses. the email that you wrote to alan weisel berg, and the subject is, veterans charities. it says, is there anyway we can make some disbursements this week while in iowa, specifically on saturday? they are claiming the foundation was used to follow cash to certain organizations in order to, i guess, curry favor ahead of the caucuses. what do you say about that? >> i've never spoken to anyone from the attorney general's office, and they've never contacted me. if people were really concerned about a foundation, hillary clinton's foundation raised $500 million from countries like qatar and kuwait and gave 15% of their money for programmatic requests. 15% of the $500 million they gave away. the trump foundation by contrast raised $18.8 million over 30 years and gave away 19.2 million. they gave away actually more money than they had ever raised, they have zero overhead. if you look at what the trump foundation has been given, they gave $1,001,000 to the marine corps and the law enforc
