Trump’s meeting with Gold Star families comes after he received backlash from the Khans, a Gold Star family of a Muslim American soldier who was killed in combat.
“Trump then claimed that one of the family members handed him a campaign contribution in the form of a check,” according to CNN.
“He said, ‘It’s more money than we can afford, but I want you to have it for your campaign,'” Trump recalled.
