The comptroller's office found no record of a donation from Trump.
In the weeks following the September 11 attacks, Donald Trump promised to donate $10,000 to the Twin Towers Fund. According to ABC News, he never followed through.
“My office has reviewed the donations made in the nearly 12 months following the attacks – and we didn’t find evidence that he contributed a single cent to the victims, our first responders, and to our city through the Twin Towers Fund,” New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer said.
“In the wake of 9/11, New Yorkers came together, healed, and rebuilt. If Donald Trump claimed to donate and didn’t, if he claimed to support New Yorkers in a time of crisis and refused, then that would be just plain wrong.”
The Comptroller’s Office manually searched through approximately 1,500 pages of records with the names of all donors. The audit of the fund searched through September 12, 2001 to August 31, 2002.
Stringer and his office found no record of Trump’s alleged donation. |
