Eric Trump, the son of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, said in an interview Wednesday that his father gives "millions and millions and millions" of his own money to charity including hundreds of thousands to Eric Trump's own charitable foundation.
After making that assertion, Eric Trump was asked if he would provide details of his father's gifts to the Eric Trump Foundation, to confirm that they really exist.
Eric Trump said he would check.
Several hours later, he wrote back. He would not.
"We are going to maintain anonymity," Eric Trump wrote in an email message about 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. "Hope you understand."

He also claims his "charity" is saving dying children,presumably by paying over $87,000 to his Dad's golf course.
