Not even Democrat Donald’s Veterans guy cares about UNPAID 6 million PROMISED to Veterans

So far all investigations into Trump’s 6 million raised for veteran groups has found that only about half of it has been paid out. And according to the Daily Beast, Trump’s own Veterans guy doesn’t even about the money not being disbursed:

DAILY BEAST – Three months ago Donald Trump held a fundraiser for wounded veterans and apparently raised $6 million. But most of money has yet to be distributed and Trump’s chairman for veterans’ issues could care less.

Trump campaign’s adviser for veterans issues can’t account for $6 million raised for veterans’ charities by the billionaire—and from the sounds of it, couldn’t care less.

“I could ask, but it’s not high on my priority list,” Al Baldasaro, a New Hampshire state representative, told The Daily Beast.

Back in January Trump skipped an Iowa presidential debate due to a tiff with Fox News, instead holding a fundraiser for veterans charities. According to the campaign, this event raised some $6 million, to be distributed to 22 listed veterans charities.

Baldasaro played a major role for the Trump campaign in New Hampshire and has been outspoken in the press and on the campaign trail ever since. In fact, he helped deliver money to one veterans’ charity, accepting an oversized novelty check from Trump on stage at a campaign event before the New Hampshire primary. Soon after, he delivered a real $100,000 check to local veterans charity Liberty House. But he says he doesn’t know where the rest of the money went, and in essence, that it isn’t his problem.

Questions have lingered about whether that money has actually been dispense to those charities—since the fundraiser, numerous media organizations have investigated whether the charities have received the $6 million. The investigations span the ideological spectrum: the progressive MSNBC and the conservative Weekly Standard have been unable to find all the funds; as have The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and The Daily Beast.

The money simply hasn’t been found.

In early March, CNN was able to track down $2.9 million, citing the Trump campaign. In early April, The Wall Street Journal traced $2.4 million of the promised funds.

What these investigations have yielded is a solid conclusion that, thus far, Donald Trump and his non-profit have dispensed, at maximum, about half of the $6 million to the listed beneficiaries. Nearly three months—85 days—have passed since the fundraiser.

“I don’t track that,” Baldasaro told The Daily Beast. “I’m not concerned about it, because I know [Trump is] an honorable, honest guy… you guys just want to say, ‘gotcha.’”

Yeah, if Trump is so honest, then why are we now going on four months with only half of it having been paid out?

I think Trump lied about raising 6 million to make himself look good and figured the media would eventually forget about it, as they pretty much have at this point.

What else explains it?
