ABC News.

The New York City Comptroller’s Office has found no evidence that Donald Trump donated to 9/11 charities in the months after the attacks, the agency said.

Trump had promised weeks after the 2001 attack to donate $10,000 to the Twin Towers Fund as part of a charity effort by “The Howard Stern Show.”

“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, a Democrat, said in a statement to ABC News today.

“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.”

It’s possible that the Republican presidential nominee donated after the two audit periods reviewed by Stringer’s office. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment.

 

[CHC]

Shocking.

Also lol @ 10,000 dollars. How tremendous of him....

 

[Crayons]

Trump Lied, People died

 

[MassiveNights]

Oh dear.

I would have never guessed that Donald Trump isn't a generous person.

Pretty low Donald to lie about donating towards the relief of a tragedy especially to make yourself look better.

 

[TheSaddestSort]

Amazing. I figure if one could somehow harness the energy behind the spin Giuliani will put on this you could power a small town.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

No surprises here.

 

[Typographenia]

Well, I never!

Surprised it took this long...

 

[rjinaz]

Shocking.

Yeah that's amusing isn't it? The guy claims to be a billionaire. $10,000 for him would be like me losing a $10 out of my wallet. And he can't even be bothered to donate that.

 

[soundscream]

Yeah that's amusing isn't it? The guy claims to be a billionaire. $10,000 for him would be like me finding a $10 laying on the ground. And he can't even be bothered to donate that.

More like a quarter.

 

[HvySky]

The hits just keep coming. Debate #3 gon' be good.

 

[rjinaz]

More like a quarter.

Seriously. It's messed up how stingy and selfish that man is. Man of the working people y'all!

As Obama said today "come on man".

 

[SafeinSound]

I think what's hilarious about this is the amount of money he was going to donate.

So if I'm grasping this right, let's say it was outside the two audit periods. So that's outside 12 months, right? And he said he donated within a few weeks time of 9/11.

So even if he did donate, he still lied and waited months to assist.

If he didn't donate, holy fuck.

The hits just keep coming. Debate #3 gon' be good.

Is that this or next Sunday?

 

[Premium Quality]

I find it sad that news like this doesn't shock me or the majority of Americans.
Trump is a real life Bond villain.

Next Wednesday.

 

[watershed]

And yet Rudy loves Trump. No surprise Trump only claimed to donate and never did. He's a fraud.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

That's backwards.

If Trump was a Bond villain the movie would be over in 5 minutes. He ain't got the brains to be a criminal mastermind.

 

[NeonBlack]

And now , mysteriously, no one will care about 9/11.

 

[Ithil]

And now , mysteriously, no one will care about 9/11.

"It was fifteen years ago, we should be talking about the issues!"

 

[DrForester]

And now , mysteriously, no one will care about 9/11.

Rudy Giuliani assured us that there were no Terrorist attacks in the US prior to Obama.

 

[Stinkles]

Eeehhh, I doubt he donated shit to anyone for anything other than political graft but the fact he didn't donate to a specific set of charities isn't proof of anything.


Of course if he released his taxes we could demonstrate what a wonderful humanitarian he is immediately...

 

[Fox Mulder]

He's a shitty person, no way.

Bragging about donating to charities is gross enough, to give nothing while doing it takes balls though.

This avalanche of shit is hilarious, as it's like the media is only now spending a few hours digging up things after thinking his campaign was cute.

 

[Messofanego]

This kind of news needs to be relayed to rural areas that are the main Republican areas that he's stingy, lies about money, and isn't for the working man. Cause to us, it's preaching to the choir.

They won't care. Something like 85% of republican women are still with him after pussygate. No reaching some folks.

Yeah but if Bond takes him out, you would have civil unrest in the red states.
In order for Bond to take him out, it would have to be in a way that the majority of Americans would be ok with.

 

[RustyNails]

I think what's hilarious about this is the amount of money he was going to donate.

It was probably half of what he was worth after the string of bankruptcies and losses in the 90's. He was so broke the government said nah, you can keep your federal income tax. I wonder if he was on food stamps too.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Who else but Donald??

 

[Shadybiz]

I just...my head...it hurts. Gymnastics are tiring. I'm tired from all this moving about.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Shocking.

Also lol @ 10,000 dollars. How tremendous of him....

That's probably all he could afford.

 

[Beefy]

When can Trump's name come under liar in the dictionary?

 

[andythinkpad]

I honest think Trump has done much worse things yet to be discovered.

For example, built a torture chamber for Saddam in Iraq, or being a card carrying member of the United Russia party are the things I expect that will come out 3 years later.

I have a wish that sometime after his campaign crashes and burns next month, somebody in his circle is going to come out and spill the beans on him. All of them.

I believe he has almost certainly raped childen. I can't think of anything worse.

[mieumieu]

The plot of "Election 2016' is like Arrested Development on crack.

 

[DOWN]

I'm more baffled that a supposed billionaire from NYC PUBLICLY offered up just $10,000 for 9/11 victims. Of all the causes in American history to be asked to donate to, HE PUBLICLY PLEDGED $10,000 FOR 9/11. NINE. ELEVEN.

And he didn't even follow through.

 

[Souldriver]

Who else but Donald??

Well that helps me cope with this election.

The "giggity lets have sex" part is especially applicable to Donald.

 

[Blader]

Amazing. I figure if one could somehow harness the energy behind the spin Giuliani will put on this you could power a small town.

Clearly NYC Comptroller is not part of Giuliani's "Never Forget Club."
