In earlier press releases, did Trump overstate his July receipts by about $12 million?
Both Hillary and Trump announced their July fundraising a couple weeks ago, but the official FEC report wasnt due till August 20.
And the official report shows that Trump, the RNC and super pacs took in about $68.3 million in July not the $80 million his campaign previously reported to the media.

The Democratic National Committee, Clinton and the super PAC backing Clinton, Priorities USA, raised a total of $94.5 million last month.
In comparison, the Republican National Committee, Trump and two super PACs backing Trump, brought in just two-thirds of the Democrats' total: $68.3 million in July.

Both campaigns announced initial fundraising numbers earlier this month. Clinton's campaign said it raised nearly $90 million in joint efforts with the Democratic National Committee, with about $63 million going to the campaign. It said it had $58 million on hand at the start of August.
The Trump campaign said it and the Republican Party took in about $80 million, but it was unclear how much of that went to the Trump campaign itself. It said it had about $37 million on hand at the end of July.
