Farenthold: 5th charity says it never got promised money from Trump
Washington Post reporter David Farenthold called and checked, and a number of charities Donald Trump told the IRS were getting money never received it.
Interesting. Another charity says it never got money that @realDonaldTrump's Fdn said it gave. No record of this $5K pic.twitter.com/9vEXgxuj6m

Since early May, Fahrenthold has painstakingly chased Trump’s claims of giving millions of dollars of his own money to charities. So far, the investigation hasn’t turned up much evidence of that. Fahrenthold has contacted over 350 charities over the past few months, a process that he’s methodically tracked on 12 sheets of legal paper using three different colors of pen. He’s periodically posted the list to Twitter in an effort to both crowdsource suggestions on where to search next and to add a layer of transparency to his entire reporting process.
“Trump lives in Twitter, the media world lives on Twitter,” said Fahrenthold, explaining his approach. “If I’m going to search for this money, doing it on Twitter makes a lot of sense because it will attract Trump’s attention and everyone else’s attention as well.”
