Trump has long boasted that he was self-funding his campaign as a way to establish his bona fides as a candidate independent of Washington special interests.
Jonathan Bernstein is a Bloomberg View columnist covering US politics. “Given Trump’s record, we’ll all need to see proof that these purported actions have been taken”.
He said Trump raised about $10 million in conjunction with the Republican Party at fundraising events this week. “I think I could save them about $600,000 or $700,000”, he said to King.

Yet, if he does not vote for Trump, he faces criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment.
Trump has significant real estate holdings, which he says have low debt on them. Trump accused the Clintons of accepting donations via their public charity, the Clinton Foundation, from leaders of countries guilty of human rights abuses. She has promised to expand Obama’s proposal to shield millions of immigrants in the USA illegally from deportation.
