Trump: 'Dishonest media' should investigate the Clinton Foundation

By Paulina Firozi

Donald Trump on Tuesday defended his donations to veterans groups and called on the "dishonest media" to focus attention on the Clinton Foundation instead.

"I raised almost $6 million for the veterans, including putting up $1 million of my own money. I had no obligation to do anything or to do so, and I get nothing but bad press from the dishonest media. It is absolutely disgraceful," the presumptive GOP presidential nominee said in an Instagram video. "Why don’t they look into the Clinton Foundation, you want to see dishonesty."

Hillary Clinton, Trump's likely Democratic opponent in the presidential election, has been a member of the foundation started by her husband.

Trump previously defended his donations to veterans in a series of tweets after The Washington Post reported that the campaign admitted to raising less than Trump had claimed.

Yes.  Please investigate the $100,000 that Trump gave to the Clinton Foundation.

Oh, and do try to find out if Trump really did give $1 million the veterans, plus make him account for the way the money was distributed.

It depends whether or not he declared it on his taxes.

Well we'll never know that, will we?

Its already known since its required to be in the SEC regulated financial forms the FEC has.

I think the Clinton Foundation stuff terrifies the mainstream media because if fully exposed, there would be a lot of Democrats other than just the Clintons who will have a lot of 'splaining to do.  I''m about as far from Conspiracy Guy as it gets, but that thing just stinks.

Trump sort of has an out anyway.  He can say "I donated to it before I knew about all this other crap, thinking it was a legitimate charity.  But now, I want to know where my money went!"

And that'd probably work.

[RedHead]

Maybe.  But there's probably more than enough to investigate concerning Trump as well.
