Trump Donates to United Cajun Navy for Search and Rescue Mission
The group on Friday on social media confirmed Trump’s donation, thanking him.
“We will bring every crewmember of the #seacorpower vessel home!” the nonprofit wrote in a tweet.
Todd Terrell, the president of the United Cajun Navy, confirmed to local news outlets that Trump donated $10,000. He said the money would be used to bolster search efforts for crew members from Seacor Power, a 129-foot lift boat that capsized on April 13 off the coast of Louisiana.
Trump’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
A U.S. Coast Guard-led mission, including Good Samaritans, resulted in the finding of 11 people from the capsized vessel; five were dead.
