He added in another tweet: “The DJT Foundation, unlike most foundations, never paid fees, rent, salaries or any expenses. 100% of money goes to wonderful charities!”

The incoming Republican president-elect is referring to the Donald J. Trump Foundation, which he announced Saturday he would be shuttering to avoid conflict-of-interest issues.
Washington Post’s David Fahrenthold has reported extensively on Trump’s foundation, and responded to the president-elect Monday night.
Fahrenthold’s tweet links to a story titled: “Trump boasts about his philanthropy. But his giving falls short of his words.”
.@realDonaldTrump gave his Fdn $5.5M since 87 (but $0 btw ’08 and ’15). Others gave $9.3M. Read the full story: https://t.co/GyunBZDhGX https://t.co/CrrNQqcabO
