'We have this contest of who can be the most extreme, and it just keeps getting worse and worse,' John Anthony Castro told Newsweek.
There have been other suits, as well. Last month, Castro filed a suit against Trump in his home state of Texas on allegations that the former president"weaponized fanatical supporters" within the Internal Revenue Service in a failed"joint conspiracy" to surveil Castro and other"Never Trumpers" who had denounced Trump and supported his political rivals in the 2018 and 2020 election cycles.
After some time as a registered Democrat—including a failed bid for a Texas county commissioner post in 2004—Castro was a donor to Republican candidates and causes as recently as 2017, according to FEC data, and led two unsuccessful bids for the U.S.and House as a Republican in 2020 and 2021, when local news outlets reported he rarely appeared in person.
However, he also plans not to spend it all at once, waiting either for a positive result for his lawsuits or—more likely—deploying his residual funds later in the campaign in an effort to deny Trump additional support in late-voting states and, potentially, leave him with some bargaining ability at the Republican convention.
