Now, on the democratic side, Bernie Sanders took a detour off what he hopes wille his new office, heres nancy cordes. God,hat a tnout reporter there are few things that will pull a candidate out of iowa five days before the caucus a legitimacy lending meeting with the president is one of them. The president and i discussed this morning a number of issues, Foreign Policy issues, domestic issues, occasionally a little bit of politics. Reporter the w wte house insists the sitdown was in the works for a while and was not meant to balance out the president s lavish praise of clinton in a recent interview. His approval matters, as both supporters. You know, before it was called obama care, it was called hillary care. Repepter even the sananders slogan, a future to believe in, looks a lot like mr. Obamas change we can believe in. I was a fan of obama from the reporter Kimberley Boggus and zoey wagner both live in beaverdale, an iowa town that was so gungho for candidate obama it got nickned obamadale. When way d d you sense beaverdale going this time . You know its a third of, a third hillary, a third omalley, and a third sanders.

Last night, we broke the story ofofavish spending by one of the most Prominent Charities for wounded veterans. Financial records show that compared to similar charities, the Wounded Warrior project spends a far smaller share of what it takes in on the vets themselves. Well, tonight, we have more of our investigation by chip reid and producer jennifer janisch. Reporter the nationon most prominent verans charity is facing criticism from more than 40 former employees about how it spends the more than 800 six years. We asked mark owens, a former director of taxexempt organizations of the i. R. S. , to review the Wounded Warrior projects tax documents. What was your biggest concern in reading these forms . That i couldnt tell the number of people that were assisted. I thought that was truly unusual. If the organization iss aing for money and spending money purportedly spending money to assist veterans, id like to know. Reporter Wounded Warrior project says 80 of their money is spent on programs for veterans. Thats because they include some Promotional Items direct response advertising and shipping and postage costs. Take that out, and the figures look more like what Charity Watchdogs say that only 54 to 60 of donations go to help Wounded Service members. The c. E. O. Has said fundraising can and should d includedein the program and services. Your response . How asking people for money eqaits to the assistance of wounded veterans. Reporter Steven Nardizzi has been c. E. O. Since 2009. In 2014 he was paid nearly half a million dollars. Thats in line with similarsized charities, but many former employees told us they thought it was too much. Nardizzi defended salary to our norfolk affiliate last april. My sally is less than onetenth of 1 of the donations that come in. And i am running an organization that is helping hundreds of thousands of warriors. Reporter las year, wwp gave 150,000 grant to a group that defends higher spending on overhead, executive salaries and fundraising by charities. Nardizzi says the more money the charity raises, the more money it can spepe on veterans. If your only fixation is spending the most on programs, thats feeling good but not you could run a lot of program activities. U could spend a lototf money and have thehem be wholly ineffective. Reporter but Charity Watchdog Daniel Borochoff says his biggest concern is that the group is sitting on a 248 million surplus a a not enonoh of it is being spent on veterans. It would be helpful if these hundreds of millions of dollars were being spent to help veterans in the shorter term, in the y yr or two, rather thaha ing held for longer term. Reporter Wounded Warrior project told us it is committing 100 million to a new Mental Health care initiative, and they hope to raise another 500 million for longterm care for severely wounded veterans. But, scott, it could be years before most of that money makes an impact on the lives of Wounded Servicemembers. Pelley chip reid with our cbs news investigation. Chip, thanks very much.
