Trump defends his campaign’s spending as cash advantage evaporates
President Donald Trump denied Tuesday that his campaign was in dire financial straits but pledged he would contribute “whatever it takes” from his own personal fortune to ensure the success of his reelection effort.
The Times report raised questions about former campaign manager Brad Parscale’s financial stewardship of Trump’s war chest, which was once viewed as a historic asset ahead of the fall’s general election campaign. Among the campaign’s expenses were a car and driver for Parscale, who was replaced atop the campaign in July by Bill Stepien.
Trump loaned $43.5 million to his campaign during the 2016 Republican primary, and he routinely touted his self-funding as evidence of his independence from special interests.
