3:03Now PlayingTrump claims he has donated a lot of money to 9/11 charities. Is that true? Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"On September 11, 2001, hours after terrorists piloted hijacked jets into the World Trade Center’s twin towers, Donald Trump distastefully said of his own financial district building, “now it’s the tallest.” Since then, the businessman with a penchant for controversy has made claims of seeing Muslims on rooftops in New Jersey dancing in celebration and donating a small portion of his wealth to assist the recovery effort. While Trump’s anti-Muslim claims were long ago debunked, his boasts of his charity in the aftermath of tragedy have recently come under increased scrutiny.
The New York City Comptroller’s Office announced on Friday that it found no evidence that Trump donated to two 9/11 charities in the year after the attacks.
Weeks after the 9/11 attacks, Trump appeared on Howard Stern’s radio show and promised to contribute to Stern’s charity effort for survivors of the attack, first responders, and their families. According to New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, despite Trump’s 2001 on-air promise that he would donate $10,000 to the Twin Towers Fund, records show that through mid-2002 neither Trump personally nor the Trump Foundation donated to the group. From ABC News:
At the request of multiple news organizations, including the New York Daily News, which first reported the story, Stringer’s office conducted a review of previously sealed records of the Twin Towers Fund and the New York City Public/Private Initiatives Inc., doing business as the Twin Towers Fund, which were set up in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks to raise money to support victims’ families, first responders and first responders’ families."
