Trump,” Mr. Whatley said in a statement sent to The Epoch Times via email.
The record-breaking cash flow hit about a week before two high-dollar Trump fundraisers are to be held in California. The Trump 47 Committee, a joint fundraising organization authorized by Donald J. Trump for President, will hold one event on June 7 in Beverly Hills and the other on June 8 in Newport Beach.
