The first fundraiser for Donald Trump’s Trump Victory fund took in $6.6 million, sources told Fox News on Friday. Money from the Victory fund will go the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and state GOP parties for November races. Officials expected to raise just $3 million to $4 million, and the final tally “defied all expectations,” the sources also said. The amounts collected at the Los Angeles event for the fund -- a joint effort between the Republican Party and the Trump campaign -- suggests the presumptive GOP presidential nominee is indeed attracting top donors. The New York Times recently reported that several GOP mega-donors won’t support a Trump candidacy.
