CAMPAIGN FINANCE/ELECTION/GOP/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson is throwing his financial might behind President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign. Adelson, a multi-billionaire who is the Republican Party’s most prominent giver, is slated to host a March 12 fundraiser for Trump at his palatial Las Vegas home, according to two people familiar with the plans. The event is expected to draw large sums for the president’s reelection campaign: Attendees are being asked to give $100,000 to get into the dinner and $250,000 per person in order to sit for a roundtable discussion…The dinner comes just before the start of the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual meeting, which will be held March 13-15 at Adelson’s Venetian resort on the Las Vegas Strip. Adelson is a major funder to the RJC, which Trump and Vice President Mike Pence attended last year.”
