Trump makes fundraising moves ahead of CPAC speech

Trump spokesman Jason Miller confirmed on Saturday that the former president is considering forming a super PAC, which can raise unlimited amounts of money from virtually any source and faces no spending limits.

The committee “could be an entirely new entity” or a reused version of “America First”, an existing super PAC launched while Trump was in office, Miller told Jim Acosta of CNN. Politico previously reported Trump’s interest in moving forward with a super PAC.

Trump also made several changes on Saturday to his growing fundraiser. In lawsuits with the Federal Election Commission, he converted his presidential campaign committee, Donald J. Trump to president, and his PAC leadership, Save America, into two political action committees that can support other candidates for the job. Trump’s campaign committee became PAC Make America Great Again – or MAGA PAC.

The new committees are now linked by a joint fundraising agreement that Miller said would “make fundraising more efficient” Joint fundraising agreements often allow politicians to guarantee a single larger check from a donor and then split the money between various committees.

Trump has accumulated millions of dollars in contributions since the creation of Save America after the November election and bombarded his supporters with false claims that electoral fraud contributed to his defeat.

Trump’s fundraising moves take place on the eve of his first political speech since he left the White House. He is scheduled to address activists on Sunday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, as he seeks to shape the future of the party and target Republicans he considers disloyal.
On Friday, for example, he supported Max Miller’s primary challenge against Ohio Republican MP Anthony Gonzalez, who voted for Trump’s impeachment last month.
