Russian Boris on Fox claiming Trump donated "hundreds of millions" to charity

One of the Trump campaign's most aggressive representatives, Boris Epshteyn (who grew up in Russia), was just on Fox furiously denying any improprieties concerning the Trump Foundation. When asked about Mr. Trump's recent charitable giving, Boris kept shouting, as he only shouts and interrupts and talks constantly so that he can't be asked questions, that Trump had given "hundreds of millions of dollars" of his own money to charity.

Boris was asked if the Trump Foundation or Trump himself could provide any paperwork verifying Trump's "hundreds of millions of dollars" of charitable donations, and Boris, as usual, answered rudely, "I doubt it because we don't need to" (I am paraphrasing slightly but Boris's meaning was very clear).

This is also the reason we are not seeing the elusive Trump taxes as he wants to continue lying wildly about charitable donations (as well as his own net worth). It was amazing to see a Fox "journalist" pushing a Trump surrogate on the issue and not letting it drop.

There is no evidence that this is in anyway remotely true.

that he is probably did it all in cash at Salvation Army kettles, those "please help so and so" canisters at his local quick shop and giving cash to homeless people that he runs into on the street. See, it's easy and that's why there are no records of his huuuuuge charitable giving.

occurred. Con Man Don says a LIE,Fake Noise repeats LIE,and if it does not fly,bring in some stooge to reinforce that LIE. Then the so called Independent Media repeats the new Fake Noise sanitized LIE as fact. George Orwell would be so proud of his pals at Fake Noise.
