US banking heir gave Trump campaign fund $50mn after ex-president’s conviction

Timothy Mellon, a conservative billionaire, donated $50 million to a pro-Trump super PAC following the former president's conviction in a hush money trial, bringing his total support for the PAC in this election cycle to $75 million.
Mellon's donation was part of a significant surge in funding that helped Trump's campaign outpace President Joe Biden's fundraising in May, with the super PAC reserving millions for TV ads in Georgia and Pennsylvania.
The pro-Trump super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., received most of its funding in May from Mellon's donation and had significant funds already on hand.
