Donald Trump slammed Hillary Clinton’s fundraising efforts, accusing her of raising “blood money.”
{mosads}In a preview of an interview with CBS’s “This Morning,” set to air Wednesday, Trump pushed back against claims that his campaign is in trouble because its fundraising is lagging so far behind Clinton’s, saying that she’s making promises to donors in order to bring in contributions.
“You know when she raises this money, every time she raises money, she’s making deals,” he said. “They’re saying, ‘Could I be the ambassador to this, can I do that, make sure my business is being taken care of.’ I mean, give me a break.”
“All of the money that she’s raising, that’s blood money,” Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said.
Campaign finance reports released on Monday night show Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, is miles ahead of Trump, having started June with $42.5 million in cash on hand, compared to Trump’s $1.3 million.
