New York City Controller Can't Find Evidence Found Trump Gave To 9/11 Families
In an exclusive interview with New York City Controller Scott Stringer, it was revealed that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump may not have actually given to any 9/11 charities after all.
According to a New York Daily News interview, Stringer revealed that records show Trump pledged $10,000 to a major 9/11 charity but the donation never surfaced. Previously, Trump claimed he gave generously to help the city. This confirms claims that were made in November 2015 made by the Smoking Gun blog that Trump never actually donated anything.
The donation was part of a fundraising effort Howard Stern was pushing in the months that followed the attack. Audio recordings of Stern’s interview with Trump October 10, 2001 (below) confirms that he and co-host Robin Quivers thanked Trump for his $10,000 pledge.
There is no evidence that Trump gave, at least in the year following the attacks. According to their office, there was a review period that covered the year that followed September 11, 2001, and they were unable to conclude Trump gave to either of the funds he claimed he donated to.
The Daily News obtained every 990 Forms from the Donald J. Trump Foundation from 2001 and 2014 and it proves there are no donations from the foundation. There was a $1,000 donation in 2006 to the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Fund, but that group was using sketchy scientific methods approved by the “Church” of Scientology to hep rescue workers. In April 2016, Trump’s foundation did donate $100,000 to the 9/11 Museum, but that was after he stopped giving money to his foundation and was requesting donations from others to his foundation.
Trump also previously claimed that he received $150,000 from a government fund designed to help businesses recover after 9/11. While that is true, Trump claimed it was reimbursement for his help for the 9/11 victims he said he took into his nearby building at 40 Wall Street. He also bragged that his building was now the tallest since the towers fell. Cont.
