Trump claims he raised $6 million for veterans.

Corey, the "arm twister" Lewandowski said they only raised $4.5 million.

Why the discrepancy?

“There were some individuals who he’d spoken to, who were going to write large checks, [who] for whatever reason . . . didn’t do it.”

Trump brought up the $6 million figure again and said “I don’t have the final numbers, but the money we raised for veterans has been mostly distributed.”

For months now, there have been reports about vets groups still not getting the money and, when WaPo looked into it, they found that the donations so far have totaled $3.1 million.
