President Donald Trump helped raise an estimated $5 million for Republicans Tuesday as he dined privately in New York with some of the biggest names in U.S. finance and real estate.
About 150 people attended the event at New York’s Le Cirque restaurant, according to a Republican National Committee official who requested anonymity because the event was private. Tickets cost a minimum of $35,000, and $250,000 per couple bought access to a private roundtable with the president. A $100,000 donation guaranteed “VIP access” to Trump.
