Herrera family gifts to MAGA Inc. before the Herrera Velutini pardon Copy link

MAGA Inc.'s FEC reports list $2.5 million from Isabela Herrera on December 31, 2024 and $1 million on July 22, 2025. She is the daughter of banker Julio Herrera Velutini, whom Trump pardoned in January 2026 in the Puerto Rico bribery case. NBC News reported that the July gift came after prosecutors dropped the most serious charges against her father. The Campaign Legal Center has asked the FEC to investigate whether the money was his, given through her; that claim is an allegation.

Paid by Isabela Herrera, daughter of Julio Herrera Velutini

No amount is counted here: the $2.5 million is inside the post-election 2024 MAGA Inc. line and the $1 million is inside the July–December 2025 line.
