Report: New Trump finance chairman donated heavily to Dems

The new national finance chairman for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has donated more than twice as much to Democrats as he has to Republicans, BuzzFeed News reported after reviewing Federal Election Commission filings.

{mosads}Since 1998, Steve Mnuchin, the chairman and CEO of Dune Capital Management LP, has given more than $125,000 to candidates and committees that disclose their donors, the report said. 

More than half of his donations have gone to Democrats.

In the 2008 presidential election cycle, Mnuchin gave to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards and Chris Dodd. He has also donated to Obama’s and Clinton’s Senate campaigns and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Mnuchin was previously a partner at Goldman Sachs. He also worked for George Soros’s hedge fund, according to BuzzFeed.

He has in the past worked with Trump in a business capacity.

In a statement Thursday, Trump said Mnuchin brings “unprecedented experience and expertise to a fundraising operation that will benefit the Republican party and ultimately defeat Hillary Clinton.”
