Donald Trump, meanwhile, has said he will offset a fundraising deficit with Clinton using his “unlimited” personal wealth. His remarks come amid reports Trump’s campaign had only $1.3 million in cash on hand at the end of May, compared to Clinton’s $42 million. Speaking to CBS News, Trump accused Clinton of raising “blood money.”
Donald Trump: “I don’t want to devote the rest of my life to raising money from people. And, you know, when she raises this money, every time she raises money, she’s making deals. They’re saying, 'Could I be the ambassador to this? Can I do that? Make sure my business is taken care of.' I mean, give me a break. All of the money she’s raising, that’s blood money. That’s blood money. Look, she’s getting tremendous amounts of money from Wall Street; she’s going to take care of Wall Street. She’s getting tremendous amounts of money from lots of people; she’s going to take care of all those people.”
New records show Donald Trump has directed nearly a fifth of his campaign cash to companies in his business empire. Trump has said he will deliver a major address against Clinton today from his Trump SoHo hotel in New York City.
