While his fundraising and donation history is sporadic, he was considerably active for Democrats and Obama in 2008 and 2012. • As a registered Democrat, and someone who has financially supported Democrats, do you have any reservations about working in a Republican administration, and if so what are they? • Will you agree to cease all political activity and donations in support of Democratic candidates and causes inconsistent with the political goals of the President-elect while working within the administration? • Do you believe the aggressive rhetoric of this past campaign season has damaged Mr. Trump’s ability to governor? Hedging on Mr. Trump during the Campaign Deadline Background: During the campaign, Emanuel refused to answer whether he would welcome Trump back as a client if he lost the election. However, it should be noted Emanuel does have a lengthy positive professional history with Trump. • Given your history working with Mr. Trump, your lack of support during the campaign was notable. Do you have any doubt you will be able to publicly back the President during turbulent times should you join the administration? • Will you have any personal issues during times when the Trump administration faces partisan criticism from Democrats, including your brother Rahm or President Obama?

1 Environment At Emanuel’s Endeavor Background: In 2002, Emanuel’s company was sued by an employee for allowing “rampant pot-smoking, obscene hazing at corporate retreats, [and] sexual frolics on desks.” Emanuel was also accused of making antigay and racist slurs (the lawsuit was settled out of court). • Was there any truth to the allegations made about the work culture at your company, and if not why did the company decide to settle with the plaintiff? • Would it be at all likely that former employees might emerge with public accusations similar to those outlined in this lawsuit? • Has there been any event or problem at Endeavor that could arise and create issues should you join the administration? Past Business Relationship with Trump Background: Mr. Trump has been a client of Emanuel’s for years. Emanuel’s firm also recently purchased Mr. Trump’s Miss Universe Pageant In 2015. • Do you believe any past business relationships with Mr. Trump would create any appearance of a conflict of interest were you to join the administration? Policy Questions Gun Control Background: Emanuel is a staunch advocate for gun control and was extremely vocal following the 2012 Newtown shooting. • Will you have moral and ethical qualm being a member of an administration that will likely emphasize 2nd amendment rights and often oppose further regulation of firearms? • Should a major shooting occur and the debate in Washington turn partisan, will you be able to stand by the President? TRUMP-PENCE Trump In March 2016, Emanuel Refused To Answer Whether He Would Welcome Trump Back As A Client If He Lost The Election. “[The Hollywood Reporter:]Deadline was a WME client. You guys are both committed Democrats and have contributed to Hillary in this campaign. Given some of Trump's rhetoric, would you have him back as a client after the election if he doesn't win? EMANUEL: I'm not contemplating any of that. I'm not delving into that conversation with you.” (Matthew Belloni, “Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell Unleashed WME IMG s Strategy, IPO Plans, China And The Doubters,” The Hollywood Reporter, 3/30/16) • When Asked About The Presidential Race In Depth, Emanuel Said “I Don’t Want To Talk About Political Issues.” “[The Hollywood Reporter: Do you think Hillary has a Hollywood enthusiasm problem? EMANUEL: Probably her best friend is Haim [Saban], so he's probably working through that, and there's some other supporters. I think it's contingent on whom she faces. So … [The Hollywood Reporter:] If it's a Trump-Hillary battle? EMANUEL: I can give you my brother's number, he'll be happy to [talk]. I don't want him to talk about Hollywood, and I don't

When The Passion of the Christ came out, Gibson was quoted as categorically denying any anti-Semitism attributed to him: ‘For me, it goes against the tenets of my faith, to be racist in any form. To be anti- Semitic is a sin. It’s been condemned by one Papal Council after another. There’s encyclicals on it, which is, you know to be anti-Semitic is to be unchristian, and I’m not.’ Now we know the truth. And no amount of publicist-approved contrition can paper it over. People in the entertainment community, whether Jew or gentile, need to demonstrate that they understand how much is at stake in this by

3 professionally shunning Mel Gibson and refusing to work with him, even if it means a sacrifice to their bottom line.” (Ari Emanuel, “The Bottom Line On Mel Gibson s Anti Semitic Remarks,” The Huffington Post 7/30/06) Sandra Epstein Lawsuit Against Endeavor In 2002, A Former Agent, Sandra Epstein, Sued Endeavor For Sexual Harassment, Which The Agency Ultimately Settled For $2.25 Million. “In April 2002, an agent named Sandra Epstein sued Endeavor, alleging, among other things, sexual harassment and pointing out that at one point she had been the lone woman among a dozen male agents.

CONTROVERSIAL POLICY STANCES/STATEMENTS Gun Control In A December 2012 Blog Post In The Wake DeadlineOf The Newtown Shooting, Emanuel Argued For Further Gun Control, Saying “There Is No Excuse To Put This Off Another Year, Another Election Cycle.” “There is no way to ignore the tragedy that took place in Newtown. It weighs on us as a country. As a parent it is unfathomable, and compels me to question how this could have happened. I am the first to acknowledge that the issue of gun control is complicated and has many sides. I am not here to educate anyone on the matter. But just because something is complicated doesn’t mean that we should just throw our hands up. It actually means that it matters and that we need to come to the table and figure this out. As I’ve said before, if you’re looking for an excuse to fail, you will always find one. We have failed as a country if we cannot find a solution that keeps our children, schools and families safe. This means taking a stance- demanding from our politicians that we move past the rhetoric, fear and focus on re-election and solve the problem that cuts at the very core of our freedom- the ability for our children to go to
