    Donations to the White House ballroom Copy link

    A confidential fundraising spreadsheet reviewed by The Washington Post lists $333 million in donations of $10,000 or more to his White House ballroom project. Apple, Nvidia, the Adelson family and Charles Ergen gave $25 million each. Companies or executives with federal contracts gave about half; the Post does not tie the gifts to any government action.

    Paid by Ballroom donors, including Apple, Nvidia, the Adelson family and Charles Ergen

    Recorded commitments, not all necessarily paid. Includes the $22 million Google agreed to pay to settle his YouTube lawsuit. All reporting traces to one Washington Post review of the fundraising spreadsheet; the KJZZ/NPR item is an interview with a Post reporter.
