Trump 2025 inaugural committee reports record $239 million haul
Federal filings showed Trump's 2025 inaugural committee raised a record roughly $239 million, largely from corporations and wealthy donors.
What happened
Filings disclosed around April 20, 2025 showed the committee raised about $239 million, more than double the prior record. Top contributors included Pilgrim's Pride (~$5M) and seven- and six-figure gifts from Amazon, Meta, Tim Cook, Nvidia, Hyundai, Target and Microsoft, many facing federal regulatory matters. This is money paid to the inaugural committee, not personal income to Trump, so it is not counted in the take.
Why it matters
Trump's inaugural committee raised a record $239M from corporations and donors, many with federal regulatory, contracting or enforcement matters pending. Record giving from parties seeking favorable government action raises access-and-influence concerns.
