At the third and final presidential debate, Donald Trump claimed that Hillary Clinton’s State Department lost $6 billion, and that the money might have been stolen.
"The problem is, you talk, but you don't get anything done, Hillary. You don't," Trump said in Las Vegas Oct. 19. "Just like when you ran the State Department, $6 billion was missing.
How do you miss $6 billion? You ran the State Department, $6 billion was either stolen — they don't know. It's gone, $6 billion. If you become president, this country is going to be in some mess. Believe me."
Clinton responded, "Well, first of all, what he just said about the State Department is not only untrue, it's been debunked numerous times."
In fact, the claim that the State Department lost $6 billion, or that it was stolen, has been debunked. Including by us.
