White House social media director Dan Scavino reportedly oversaw the hiring of undocumented immigrant workers while he was the general manager at Trump's Westchester County golf club, according to the New York Daily News. Scavino is said by former employees to have overseen the “day-to-day operations” at Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor, including hiring immigrants with fake documentation. Gabriel Sedano, who worked at the club for 14 years before getting fired, told the Daily News he knew “at least 30” other undocumented workers who worked alongside him. “[Scavino] was involved in the hiring,” Sedano said. “If they needed more people, he would always have to say yes because he was the general manager. Everything went up to him.” Sedano's lawyer, Anibal Romero, said he's been “in contact” with New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office about the allegations. A source told the newspaper that James is aware of the allegations, has launched a “fact-finding mission,” but has not yet opened an investigation into the matter.
