Trump releases details from vet fundraiser, slams media

Donald Trump fired back Tuesday at reports questioning his fundraising haul from a high-profile veterans event in January, releasing an extensive list of charities he said received the donations — and slamming the media for questioning him. 

During a press conference at Trump Tower, the presumptive Republican nominee said he's raised $5.6 million and more is coming in. 

He rattled off the list of charities and the amounts they received, while taking scathing and sometimes-personal shots at the media for pressuring him to disclose the information. 

“I have never received such bad publicity for doing such a good job,” Trump said. He added, “The press should be ashamed of themselves.” 

The list contained dozens of groups including the Fisher House Foundation and the Green Beret Foundation, which received $115,000 and $350,000, respectively. 

In between detailing the recipients, Trump also called members of the media “losers” and complained they treated him unfairly. “I don't want the credit for it, but I shouldn't be lambasted,” Trump said, explaining why he named the charities and the donation amounts.
