What happened
Donald Trump stated that if his Republican party maintains control of Congress, he would direct the U.S. Department of Justice to settle remaining claims for U.S. Marine Corps veterans and their families quickly. Trump warned that if his party does not win, there would be no money available for these claims. Advocates for the veterans criticized the remarks as politicizing veteran care.

Why it matters
The remarks tie the availability and speed of federal payments for veterans suffering from illnesses linked to Camp Lejeune contamination to political control of Congress. This suggests that the flow of federal settlement funding could be influenced by election results.
Donald Trump has previously pushed for legislation regarding election integrity, facing hurdles in the House and Senate.
