Trump Last night, during his speech at the Republican National Convention, revealed over $6 million has been raised for the families of the victims of the deadly shooting at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Trump also took a check out of his suit pocket, which revealed Dan Newlin donated an additional $1 million to the victims and their families of the tragic shooting.
The Saturday shooting took the life of former fire chief Corey Comperatore and injured two other Trump supporters.
Trump shared, “I told them, I said, well, I’m going to be sending you a lot of money, but it can’t compensate. They all said the same thing: ‘You’re right, sir, we appreciate so much what you’re doing, but nothing can take the place of Corey.”

Trump informed the the crowd that the two other victims, 74-year-old James Copenhaver and 57-year-old David Dutch, have been recovering and are “going to be okay.”
