Trump’s Fundraising Shows Reliance on Oil Sector, Wealthy Donors
- Former president raises $23.6 million from wealthy donors
- Ken Griffin, Paul Singer give to congressional Republicans
Donald Trump relied on a small cadre of donors to contribute a hefty portion of his March fundraising haul, showing the early success of his pivot to wealthy benefactors to finance his presidential bid.
The $23.6 million from deep-pocketed donors accounted for a substantial part of the $65.6 million he and the Republican Party raised that month, the latest disclosures to the US Federal Election Commission show. While overall figures were known earlier, the filings released Monday were the first to detail donors and other information.
