Representatives from two more veterans’ groups listed by the Donald J. Trump Foundation as recipients of donations from the Republican presidential candidate’s January 28 fundraiser say their organizations have received donations. Earlier this week, I spoke to representatives of nine other groups, some of whom said they had received donations, while others had not.
The Puppy Jake Foundation, an Iowa-based charity that trains and places service dogs with wounded veterans, received a $100,000 check from the Trump Foundation on January 30, two days after the fundraiser reportedly raised more than $6 million. “What they said was this was the first part of it but they didn’t know the remainder,” said Puppy Jake CEO Becky Beach in a phone interview.
