He said why did I travel w Jim and I said rarely. I forwarded you Jeddah trip email. I think it addresses his questions. I also forwarded you response from chief of staff and photograph From event in Jeddah. ' rent true - or aren't correct. I ith Jim - Like I went .with one year and another i went a • • e year Iwentwitl shared a room (not with Jim!). And Jim went to o give a talk and I was there because It was my quarterly check in etc. he didn't spend the night i • with his chief of staff in the morning and left in the aftemmg y v rla for his even here he gave a town hall meeting. We had meetings wit nd the health team an at was it. And icks hotels not me I've never stayed at the ritz in manhattan. We had an event at MasterCard in westChester and we all stayed at the Ritz in WestChester but there were 5 or 6 o m not with Jim!). I suspect they picked it be it was closer to the event but I don't know the iii idn't tell me their rationale or selection or change criteria. • And dining alone w Jim seems like a weird accusation because we all sat in an open space big room and there are tables everywhere but it isn't alone it's just in the same big open room. I can try to type up a factual response and forward whatever emails I have as documentation.

Below are some additional questions based on our conversation. Please respond to them in writing, if possible, whenever you have a chance to sit down at a comput taking the time. I am fully aware of how busy you are I told you that we would not endorse salacious rumor. I also told you that we did not intend to publish your name. That is and will remain true, unless dramatic evidence comes to light and makes us reconsider. But we are interested in how the WBG board handled allegations against JYK. Even if you believe those allegations were nothing more than a smear campaign, they were obviously concerning enough that they were brought to the ethics committee board. Our interest is in how the board handled those allegations, not whether they can be verified as true. As such, it would be very helpful if you helped us understand some details about your travel. Again, this is not about whether an improper relationship did or did not occur: We make very clear that there is no evidence to that effect, and that it has been roundly denied. We do nothing to call those denials into question. But we are interested in some of the underlying questions that led to the allegation in the first place. In fact, to us, the question of a romantic affair between two consenting adults is utterly irrelevant. The question that matters is whether JYK exercised proper judgement and, also, whether he misused funds, or authorized such misuse by others. Let's start with the Jeddah trip. 1) Can you tell me the purpose of the trip 2) Can you tell me how long you devoted to that purpose? 3) When you arrived in Jeddah, you posted a photograph from your Instagram account that was taken from Flick. Why did you 2 World Bank know, prior to the trip, that you would be traveling from the Arabian Peninsula? 4) You said the trip was approv y your supervisor. Who was that? You also told me that you did but records s in 2 16, you travelled togethe 1) If the missio nvolved data transparet ability, as you told me on on ay, what was the purpose of these trips? Can you share your notes from any of EFTA01028445  these trips with me? 2) When you travelled to New York o 2016, why did you decide not to stay at the Renaissance in Westchester, moving instead to the Ritz Carlton in Manhattan? 3) On a number of occasions, you dined alone with JYK. Did you ever feel pressured to do so? Did you ever find him to be inappropriate? Did you ever feel uncomfortable traveling with him? I very much hope these questions do not put you on a defensive. As I already said, of ap ear in the article nor an identi in characteristics—your your that would allow anyone to iidentify you in any way. T is is an investigation o JYK, not you. And it is an investigation of public deeds, not private behavior. As such, you could be tremendously helpful in helping to gain more clarity about JYK's tenure. Thank you again for your willingness to work with me on this. It is deeply appreciated.
