Donald Trump on Monday promised $1 million of his own money to a veterans’ charity, fulfilling a pledge he made back in January at a nationally televised fundraiser for veterans’ causes in Iowa, which he organized. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee said at the fundraiser that he had raised $6 million for veterans groups and that he had given $1 million. It appears he only gave the money this week because the media had been investigating his claims and asking him if he was lying about the donations. Trump then managed to place the blame on Hillary Clinton for his apparent failure in raising money for veterans. We look at the controversy on the Lip News with Elliot Hill and Mark Sovel.
