President Donald Trump will pledge $1 million of his own money to relief efforts for Hurricane Harvey, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said on Thursday.

"I am happy to tell you that (Trump) would like to join in the efforts that a lot of the people that we have seen across this country do and he's pledging $1 million of personal money to the fund," Sanders told reporters at a White House briefing.
