Donald Trump’s Chief Fund-Raiser Heads Straight for Las Vegas
Source: New York Times
LAS VEGAS — Less than a week after being recruited by Donald J. Trump to be his campaign fund-raiser, Steven Mnuchin did not waste any time looking for big-money donors.
Later, Mr. Mnuchin attended a dinner that included the billionaire hedge fund manager Kenneth C. Griffin, David H. Petraeus, the former C.I.A. director and general, and John A. Boehner, the former House speaker. The host of the dinner was Anthony Scaramucci, who runs the investment firm SkyBridge Capital and who last week publicly endorsed Mr. Trump.
Before becoming one of the first on Wall Street to back him, Mr. Scaramucci had been one of Mr. Trump’s loudest critics. Less than a year ago, he called Mr. Trump a “hack politician,” warning that his politics were divisive.
