When Trump spent the evening raising money for veterans, he claimed to have raised $6M; many wondered where the money went and a month later only half has been given away.
"In January, Donald Trump skipped a televised Republican debate in Iowa and held his own event instead — a rally to raise money for veterans. Trump said it was a huge success.
"'One hour. Six million dollars,' Trump told a campaign rally in Iowa a few days later, boasting about the total raised. He listed more than 20 groups that would receive money. 'These people that get these checks are amazing people, amazing people.'"--David Farenthold, The Washington Post
