On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that President Trump would donate $1 million of his personal money to Hurricane Harvey victims. But on Friday, she wasnt so sure.
Asked by a reporter if she knew whether Trumps donation would be coming from his own money or from the Trump Foundation, Sanders dodged.
I havent had a chance to do that, she said, suggesting she hadnt yet had a chance to ask the president where the money would be coming from.
During the campaign, reporting by the Washington Posts David Fahrenthold and others demonstrated that Trump treated his foundation which he hadnt personally donated to since 2008 like a personal expense account. Trump was also shown to have repeatedly exaggerated his giving.
