President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is off to a quick start, pulling in $13.2 million through a trio of committees in the first three months of the year, while paying an unusually large staff of about 20 employees, according to records filed Friday evening with the Federal Election Commission.

Nearly 80 percent of the cash raised by the three committees — Donald J. Trump for President, Trump Victory, and Trump Make America Great Again Committee — came from small donors.

In all, the three Trump committees combined to spend a total of $458,000 at Trump’s various companies, including $274,000 in rent for the Trump Tower office space and $61,000 at Trump golf clubs.

Some Trump insiders or their companies continued to draw payments from Trump’s campaign committee even as they were at work inside the White House, according to the FEC filings. Bannon Strategic Advisers — a firm run by White House chief strategist Steve Bannon — received $28,000 on Jan. 25 for “administrative assistant/secretarial ser(vices),” while Scavino and Associates — associated with White House social media director Dan Scavino — was paid $14,500 on Feb. 13 for strategy consulting.
