$45k isn't much to help pay Trump's legal fees.  :whistle:

Teamsters union gave max donation to RNC after meeting with Trump

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters' political action committee infused $45,000 into the Republican National Committee's (RNC) convention fund last month in a stark departure from the union's history of giving primarily to Democrats.

The Teamsters PAC — known formally as Democrat, Republican, Independent Voter Education — earmarked the donation on Jan. 25, according to federal elections filings reviewed by Fox News Digital. The contribution was made weeks after former President Trump, the clear front-runner to secure the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, met with Teamsters President Sean O’Brien and days before a second meeting between the two.

In a statement, Teamsters spokesperson Kara Deniz said the contribution was approved in December before the union's two meetings with Trump. She added that it represented the first time the Teamsters would participate in both the Republican and Democrat conventions in more than two decades.

"The Teamsters contributed $45,000 to both the Democratic and Republican convention funds. It’s not since 2000 that our union has participated in both conventions," Deniz told Fox News Digital in an email. "In the Teamsters, all our members’ voices will be heard, regardless of party."....................

Not going to knock anyone for accomplishing that. 'Bout time unions figured out where their bread is buttered.
The Republic is lost.
