Rep. Alma Adams confirmed that her daughter was the recipient of a scholarship from the N.C. Legislative Black Caucus Foundation.
In an interview with reporters on the House floor today, the Greensboro Democrat said that her daughter, Jeanelle Lindsay, was one of the five recipients of scholarships from the nonprofit.
She did not elaborate, saying that she had to make a committee meeting before the House reconvenes at 3 p.m.
She did, however, say that press coverage has been inaccurate, though she did not explain how.
"My real problem with the press is that you all don't quote things accurately," she said.
The foundation is reviewing its process for awarding scholarships. Scholarships also went to the granddaughter of Rep. Earline Parmon, the son of Rep. Larry Womble and the daughter of Rep. Jean Farmer-Butterfield.
It is not known who the fifth recipient is.
Correction: An earlier version of the post incorrectly used Lindsay's maiden name.
