These contributions come at\u2062 a time when Trump faces new charges related to \u200bthe January\u2062 6 Capitol riot and his \u2064efforts to challenge the 2020\u200c election\u200b results.<\/p>\n<p>Between April and June, four affluent businessmen donated \u2064over\u2063 $4 million to Make America Great Again Inc., the super PAC supporting Trump. While this organization cannot directly coordinate with Trump&#8217;s official campaign, \u2064it can accept unlimited sums of money. These donations highlight the unwavering support of a\u2063 select \u200bgroup of Trump&#8217;s longtime allies, even in the \u200bface of \u200blegal\u2062 challenges.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s Strong Primary Contender Position<\/h3>\n<p>Despite other 2024 Republican candidates, such as Sen. Tim Scott,\u200d Gov. \u2063Ron DeSantis, and \u2063ex-United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley, receiving significant contributions from Wall Street and\u2062 other billionaires, Trump\u200c remains the frontrunner. According to RealClearPolitics, he leads the primary\u200c polling average with 53.9%, followed\u2063 by DeSantis at 18.1%.<\/p>\n<p>When asked for\u200d comment, an\u2062 official from the Trump-allied super PAC declined \u2063but referred to a New York Times report stating that the organization received $15 million in July, \u200dsurpassing its total fundraising for \u200dthe first half of 2023.<\/p>\n<h3>Support for Trump&#8217;s Legal Expenses<\/h3>\n<p>The super PAC has allocated at least $12.25 million to\u2062 the pro-Trump Save America PAC to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chris-christie-rips-trump-family-as-grifters-after-report-that-donations-are-going-to-legal-fees\/\" title=\"Chris Christie slams Trump family as grifters over donations for legal fees.\">cover legal bills<\/a>. Save America PAC, in turn, has spent over $21 \u2062million on\u200d Trump&#8217;s legal\u200b expenses,\u200b which have increased following his previous indictments related to\u200d &#8220;hush money&#8221; payments and handling of classified documents.<\/p>\n<h3>Generous Donors to the\u200c MAGA Committee<\/h3>\n<p>Phil Ruffin, owner of the Treasure Island Hotel \u200d&#038; Casino in\u2062 Las Vegas and half \u200bof the Trump International Las Vegas hotel, contributed $2 million to the super PAC. Ruffin has also donated nearly $1.7 million to\u2062 pro-Trump committees since 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Woody Johnson, co-owner of the New York Jets and former ambassador to\u2063 the United Kingdom under Trump,\u200b donated $1 million to\u200c the MAGA PAC\u200b in April. Johnson previously contributed $1 million to America First Action\u2064 in 2020 and $675,000 to Trump Victory \u200din 2016 and \u20622020 combined.<\/p>\n<p>Charles Kushner, father of Trump&#8217;s son-in-law Jared Kushner, gave $1 million in June. Kushner, a disbarred former attorney \u200band <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-donors-back-efforts-to-recall-calif-gov-newsom\/\" title=\"Trump donors back efforts to recall Calif. Gov. Newsom\">real estate developer<\/a>, was pardoned by Trump in 2020 after being convicted in 2005 for various offenses.<\/p>\n<p>In June, Haim Chera, son of the \u200dlate Stanley Chera, a close friend of Trump, donated $50,000 to the MAGA\u2064 PAC. Chera, an executive at Vornado\u2062 Realty Trust, has ties to\u2063 Charles Kushner through business \u200cdealings.<\/p>\n<h3>Shifts in Support<\/h3>\n<p>While Trump continues\u200b to\u200b receive support from some previous backers, recent disclosures \u200creveal\u200d that certain wealthy\u2062 allies\u2062 have redirected their contributions. Billionaire Richard \u200bUihlein and his \u200cwife, Elizabeth \u2063Uihlein, who previously\u200c donated $3 million to America First Action in 2020, each contributed $1 million to Never\u2064 Back Down, a super\u2062 PAC\u200c aligned with\u200b DeSantis. Warren \u2064Stephens, who donated over $3 million to pro-Trump committees in 2020, invested $1 million this year in a committee supporting \u200dex-Gov. Asa Hutchinson&#8217;s presidential bid.<\/p>\n<h3>Upcoming Court Appearance<\/h3>\n<p>Trump is scheduled to appear before Magistrate Judge\u2063 Moxila\u2064 Upadhyaya at a Washington courthouse on Thursday at 4 p.m. U.S. District Judge \u200dTanya Chutkan, assigned to handle special counsel\u200b Jack Smith&#8217;s case against Trump, is an Obama-era appointee. The\u200b indictment also lists six unnamed alleged co-conspirators, including Rudy Giuliani, John \u2064Eastman, \u200dSidney Powell,\u200c Jeffrey\u200d Clark, and Kenneth\u2063 Chesebro.<\/p>\n<p>Trump responded \u2063to the \u200bcharges, calling \u2062them &#8220;nothing \u2064more than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-responds-to-latest-criminal-indictment-reminiscent-of-nazi-germany\/\" title=\"Trump compares latest criminal indictment to Nazi Germany.\">latest corrupt chapter<\/a> in the continued pathetic attempt by the Biden Crime \u2063Family and their weaponized Department of Justice to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pro-Trump super PAC received millions from wealthy allies of the former president, according to filings.
