White House declines to say if it's behind the GoFundMe for the wall [View all]

A fundraiser by a triple m amputee aimed at raising $1 billion for the border wall has been portrayed as a grassroots effort by average Americans. But is the White House and large donors part of the effort? They won’t say.
Via USA Today:

The White House is aware of the GoFundMe effort, but officials declined to comment on whether the administration coordinated with Kolfage on it.
