Steven Mnuchin's family foundation donated to, and Mnuchin himself sat on the boards of, two nonprofits that wrote supportive letters to the Fed when his bank was trying to get a merger approved. Cedars-Sinai received $21,500 and the LAPD Foundation received $44,500. Mnuchin is notably absent from the LAPD Foundation's Board of Directors page and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's website and its profile on Bloomberg. (The LAPD Foundation told OpenSecrets Blog that he was listed on its website until his resignation last month, though we could not find such a page using Internet Archive.) The LAPD Foundation confirmed to us he was on its board of directors until last month, when he resigned.
