When Donald Trump skipped a GOP debate in January to host a fundraiser for veterans, he touted its success by citing the $6 million raised for veterans groups. One problem -- that figure is inaccurate.Following the rally in Des Moines, Iowa, the Trump campaign said the event raised $5 million and Trump personally contributed an additional $1 million. But campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told CNN Friday the amount raised was actually less than $6 million.
Lewandowski said he did not "know the exact number" off the top of his head and would confirm the number in coming days. He explained the discrepancy by saying at the time of the rally, Trump believed he had raised $6 million but more money had been pledged than was actually donated.
The Washington Post reported Friday that Lewandowski said the fundraiser actually netted about $4.5 million. Lewandowski told CNN that number is incorrect.
The deal is that people who hate Trump will use any excuse imaginable to try and defame him. This is why those who support Trump are so loyal. The amount of made up b.s. only reinforces their resolve.what? this happens all the time for charity fundraisers etc ...
people pledge money but it never comes through. most charities use the pledges as their top of the mark.
I don't see what the big deal is.

The other donor had made a much bigger promise: Trump, with his vow to give $1 million.
Did Trump make good on his promise to give from his personal funds?
“The money is fully spent. Mr. Trump’s money is fully spent,” Lewandowski said.
To whom did Trump give, and in what amounts?
“He’s not going to share that information,” Lewandowski said.

4th posting of the same thing. Hey if it doesn't stick the first time, cover it in crap and throw it against the wall again, and again, and again.

Realistically not that important difference. Pledges of 6 million vs actual donations of 4.5. An easy thing to mix up depending on what he was aware of. And a small issue in general.
