  1. ‘October 7 was a turning point’: Trump’s pro-Israel fundraising accelerates

    ALMOST AS SOON AS PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN announced he would halt a weapons shipment to Israel, Steve #Witkoff’s iPhone started buzzing.

    “Every one of my friends started calling and asking, ‘What can I do for Donald Trump?’” Witkoff, a pro-Israel donor and fundraiser for Trump’s presidential campaign, told The Bulwark.

  2. Last month the New York Times reported on a dinner Donald Trump had with a small group of donors,
    -- including large backers of his 2016 campaign, Robert #Mercer and his daughter Rebekah Mercer.

    Other attendees included entrepreneur Omeed #Malik, cosmetics firm founder Trish #McEvoy and real estate billionaire Richard #Kurtz.

    In April the Mercers and Malik were among a few dozen co-chairs of a Trump fundraising dinner hosted by John #Paulson, along with other notable co-chairs including Wilbur #Ross, Steve #Wynn, Howard #Lutnick, Robert #Wood, Kelly #Loeffler, Kenny #Troutt and Linda #McMahon – who is also a board director of Trump Media which owns Truth Social.

    The Trump campaign claimed it raised over $50 million at the event.

  3. Donald Trump, facing a cash crunch that puts him at a severe disadvantage to President Biden, dined on Thursday night with a small group of donors including the hedge fund billionaire #Robert #Mercer and his daughter #Rebekah, according to two people with knowledge of the event.
    Mr. Trump’s dinner companions also included the entrepreneur #Omeed #Malik, the cosmetics firm founder #Trish #McEvoy and the real estate management billionaire #Richard #Kurtz, one of the people said.
    The Mercers, Ms. McEvoy and Mr. Kurtz did not respond to requests for comment. A spokesman for Mr. Malik declined to comment, and a Trump spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

    The Mercers were a critical source of support behind Mr. Trump’s win in the 2016 presidential election.
    In addition to giving donations, they pushed him to make changes to his political team, including making #Kellyanne #Conway his campaign manager and #Stephen #Bannon his chief executive.

    The Mercer family was conspicuously quiet during Mr. Trump’s 2020 re-election effort
