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 wasn’t 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.

the last time, like how much money was spent at tRump properties and who essentially was paid money by the campaign...

Are they not out yet, are just the totals out at the moment...
