http://dailycaller.com/2018/05/10/house-republicans-cash-infusion-adelson/A big time Republican donor is giving the party new lifeblood heading into the November midterm elections, cutting a $30 million check to the Congressional Leadership Fund.
Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson made the donation earlier in May when Speaker of the House Paul Ryan hopped on a plan to meet with him in Las Vegas, Politico reports.
Ryan is unable to request such a large donation, so former Minnesota Gov. Norm Coleman, asked Adelson for a large contribution once Ryan left the room. The donation is not yet on the books, but will become public later in the month.
