CNN has reported that a close associate of Donald Trump, Tom Barrack, told CNN's Erin Burnett on Thursday that a new pro-Trump super PAC has secured $32 million in financial commitments. Super PAC officials earlier in the day filed documents with the FEC for a new group, Rebuilding America Now, that Barrack said had attracted tens of millions of dollars in early money.
Barrack, who hosted Trump's first major fundraiser, has long been pointed to by donors as an eventual point man for Trump's super PAC operation, which thus far is nascent and has yet to attract large donations. He said he will not have a formal role with the group.
About four donors account for the $32 million, Barrack told CNN. These include new donors who have never donated large amounts of money to the Republican Party before. It took five phone calls to woo the donors, Barrack said.
Barrack said the principal operative behind the group is Ken McKay and Lori Gay. McKay, the former campaign manager to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, is currently a senior adviser to Trump's campaign and would be required by election law to "cool off" from the campaign before aiding an outside group.
Major donors have skeptically viewed the first two super PACs that have flooded the pro-Trump space, with questions raised about their viability and operational effectiveness. One of the original groups, Great America PAC, is about to begin a series of five kickoff fundraisers, including a multi-day event in Dallas next weekend, according to lead donor Bill Doddridge.
