“I’ve been talking to the people who are responsible for the Trump Foundation today, trying to get some facts and some figures,” and that monies “were misdirected to his foundation; I’m told by his accountants and attorneys, they went to the right foundation after that.”

Trump’s running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence said there were factual errors in the Washington Post article, but didn’t name any examples.

“Well, I think what we found is that there is a number of factual errors in that story as there were in previous stories about the Trump Foundation,” Pence said to MSNBC’s Brian Williams, adding that the “larger issue” is the Clinton Foundation.

Trump and Clinton are days away from and preparing for their first debate on Monday, Sept. 26, and recent polls have shown a tight race on a national and state-by-state level.

Questions about money handling and trustworthiness are sure to come up in the debate and each side is preparing and testing its different attacks and counter-attacks which can play out on the debate stage.
