Donald Trump has not yet donated most of the money he raised for veterans

Donald Trump has put veterans' issues front-and-center in his presidential campaign. 

He has not, however, put much of the donated money where his mouth is. At least yet. 

Trump has allegedly only donated about half of the $6 million raised at a January fundraiser for veterans, according to two reports. 

Where the rest of that money resides is not immediately clear.

The Washington Post and CNN on Thursday published lengthy looks at just what had happened since Trump's fundraiser. 

Taking Trump's word for it, his event raised $6 million that was to be donated to a variety of nonprofits that work with and for veterans.

Trump's own campaign provided materials showing that about half that amount had been donated, spread out between 27 charities. 

Before CNN's inquiries to the Trump campaign, journalists could only account for around $800,000 of the money, based on contact with the nonprofits.

Hope Hicks, spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, did not respond to an inquiry from Mashable. She told other press outlets that they were better off focusing on veteran's issues rather than Trump's philanthropic pursuits.

Trump contributed $1 million of his own money and solicited donations from powerful acquaintances including investor Carl Icahn and pharmaceutical magnate Stewart Rahr.

The donations from Icahn and Rahr reportedly went straight to nonprofits on behalf of Trump.
