Trump began 2022 with a war chest of $122 million

Among those contributing major sums to Trump’s committees following his election defeat was Randall Weddle, the owner of a transport company in London, Ky., who before 2016 had given less than $500 to federal candidates, records show. Since Trump’s rise, he has given thousands, including $5,000, the maximum amount possible, to Trump’s leadership PAC last year and thousands more to a joint fundraising committee that directs funds to Trump and to the RNC.
