Trump Still Hasn’t Given His Inauguration Savings to Charity

Donald Trump’s inaugural committee promised to give millions in unspent money to charity. It’s needed now more than ever. So where’s the money?

The White House announced the details of President Donald Trump’s $1 million gift to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts on Wednesday. But another group tied to the president has previously promised a far larger pot of charitable gifts, and its stewards aren’t in any rush to dole them out.

Trump’s inauguration committee has millions of dollars on hand that it did not spend on ceremonies in January, according to Tom Barrack, a friend of the president’s who leads the inaugural committee. The committee has said since January that that money will be given to charity, a pledge that Barrack reiterated to The Daily Beast. But even as some internally press for the unspent funds to go toward hurricane relief efforts, Barrack is signaling that donations may not be made for months.

Inaugural committee spokesman Alex Stroman told The Washington Post in March that the committee would release details of its planned charitable giving the following month. It has not yet done so, and Stroman, who told The Daily Beast in emails as late as June that he did not have an update on that giving, did not respond to emails seeking information on the status of the charitable contributions.
