Veterans charities STILL haven't received most of the $6 million Trump raised for them in Iowa
[link to www.dailymail.co.uk]

Donald Trump is facing a new round of accusations that he has been slow to distribute $6 million he raised for veterans charities in January.

The Wall Street Journal reached 19 of the 22 nonprofits it says the Trump campaign has named as recipients of the funds, and could only account for $2.4 million.

And the lion's share of that money consisted of grants from Trump's wealthy friends – including some funds they donated independently without the funds flowing through Trumpworld at all.

Veterans’ Groups Line up to Reject Money from Trump

Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America founder Paul Rieckhoff tweeted Wednesday that he would decline any contributions that came from the event, which Trump has proposed in place of his attending Fox News’ debate this week.

“If offered, @IAVA will decline donations from Trump’s event. We need strong policies from candidates, not to be used for political stunts,” he said.

Two other veterans’ groups also distanced themselves from Trump’s announcement.

The Wounded Warrior Project said it was not aware of the candidate conducting any fundraising efforts on its behalf.

Meanwhile, VoteVets.org, which calls itself the nation’s largest progressive veterans group, issued a statement titled: “Don’t hide from Megyn Kelly behind us.”
