Spicer: Trump Pledged to Donate Presidential Salary to Charity and Wants Press’ Help to Determine Where It Will Go

‘The way that we can avoid scrutiny is to let the press corps determine where it should go’

EXCERPT: 
REPORTER: "My second question for you. Has President Trump donated his paycheck from the month of February like he promised to do during the campaign?"
SPICER: "The president’s intention right now is to donate his salary at the end of the year, and he has kindly asked that you all help determine where that goes. The way that we can avoid scrutiny is to let the press corps determine where it should go. (Laughter) In all seriousness, he views that he made a pledge to the American people to donate to charity and would love your help to determine where it should go."
REPORTER: "The correspondents association."
SPICER: "That would be a great way to do it."
