Ahead of Donald Trump’s speech on “all things Clinton,” the GOP presumptive nominee had strong words for his Democratic rival Wednesday morning, calling the campaign funds Hillary Clinton has raised "blood money" in an interview on CBS today.
“When she raises this money, every time she raises money, she's making deals...I mean, give me a break. All of the money she's raising, that's blood money,” Trump said.
