The money is in fact divided between Clinton's campaign and the Democratic Party. More than 900,000 people made a donation in September and 2.6 million have done so since the beginning of the race, the Clinton campaign said.
In another development, the New York Times obtained records from 1995 showing that Donald Trump declared a 916 million USD loss. The figure is so substantial that it could have allowed him to legally avoid paying federal income tax for 18 years. His campaign released a statement saying that Trump has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in property taxes, sales and excise taxes, real estate taxes, city taxes, state taxes, employee taxes and federal taxes.
