Trump's inaugural committee reports record-shattering fundraising of $107 million

By John Wagner April 18 at 7:21 PM

President Trump’s inaugural committee said Tuesday that it raised nearly $107 million for festivities surrounding his Jan. 20 swearing-in, about double the haul for any other incoming president.

The previous high was $53 million for President Barack Obama’s first inauguration in 2009.

Trump’s team set no limits on what corporations and individuals could contribute to the inaugural committee, which coordinated more than 20 events over six days to mark the arrival of the new Republican president.

A filing by the committee with the Federal Election Commission was not yet available as of Tuesday evening.
