Key Trump donor Mellon gives RFK Jr super PAC $5 million more
NEW YORK - A super PAC supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr's presidential campaign received $5 million in April from Timothy Mellon, the latest donation the 81-year-old banking heir has made to the independent candidate, according to a monthly filing released on Monday.
American Values 2024 ended April with $20.85 million cash on hand, according to the filing with the Federal Election Commission, after spending to get Kennedy on state ballots and other expenses. Mellon's contributions to the RFK super PAC, which can receive donations of unlimited size but cannot coordinate with campaigns directly, are an effort to siphon away votes from Biden and help Trump, the Democratic Party claims.
Trump has also taken aim at Kennedy. On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump in April called Kennedy"a Democrat 'Plant'" and"a Radical Left Liberal."
