Findings

Context Gifts and meals

Listed $5,245.29 in meals, travel or seminars from 4 sources

The statement lists 4 items; the largest source is National Judicial College ($2,783.20). These are the kinds of gifts the F-1 asks for: meals over $100, and travel or seminar costs paid by an organization, which the $100 gift limit doesn't cover.

What to check

Who the sources are, and whether any has business before the official's agency or body.
For state officials: whether a source also appears on lobbyist reports.
