When will Trump learn that using DU's General Discussion: Primaries is NOT a reliable source?

"fact check provided by CNN’s Carol Costello on Wednesday refuted claims that the Clinton Foundation kept 80 percent of its donations, which Trump surrogate Gina Louden had insisted was true because she got the figure from a Google search.

During a panel discussion about allegations from ex-employees that Donald Trump’s Trump University was a “fraudulent scheme,” Louden fought back by attacking the Clinton Foundation.

“The Clinton Foundation hangs on more than 80 percent of the money that is raised,” Louden charged.

“Where are you getting that figure?” Costello wondered.

“It’s out there,” Louden insisted. “It’s everywhere, you can google it yourself.”

.........

Citing Politifact and FactCheck.org, Costello pointed out that the “80 percent number has been floated by many conservatives, but they may be referring only to the amount donated by the Clinton Foundation to outside charities.”

“The bulk of the Clinton Foundation’s charitable work is actually performed in house,” she continued. “And last year, one independent watchdog did an analysis of the foundation’s funding and found that 89 percent of its funding went to charity, earning it an ‘A’ rating.”
