Former President Donald Trump has $105 million in the bank among four political committees he controls, a massive sum he could use to influence intraparty battles over the future of the Republican Party.
Trump continued to ask his supporters for campaign cash long after he lost the Nov. 3 election. Trump’s new leadership PAC, Save America, raised around $31 million between Nov. 24 and Dec. 31, according to a new Federal Election Commission filing released Sunday.

Lobbyists selling their connections to former President Donald Trump capped off a lucrative four-year run with their best year in 2020. After raking in millions from high-profile clients, these Washington influencers are already losing clients under President Joe Biden but could still benefit from Trump’s continued influence over the GOP.
Brian Ballard, chairman of Trump’s 2016 big-dollar fundraising apparatus and vice chairman of the Trump inaugural committee, made the most of his deep-rooted relationship with the president. A power player in Florida politics, Ballard didn’t lobby at the federal level until 2017, Trump’s first year in office. Since then, his firm raked in $71.4 million in lobbying revenue.

Washington lobbyists with close ties to outgoing President Donald Trump were paid lucrative sums by clients angling for last-minute pardons from the president.
Matthew Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union and a close Trump ally, brought in the largest haul. According to a lobbying filing released Thursday night, Schlapp was paid a whopping $750,000 since mid-December to lobby Trump to pardon Parker Petit, a top Republican donor who served as Georgia finance chairman for Trump’s 2016 campaign. Petit was convicted of securities fraud in November and faced up to 20 years in federal prison.
