Trump holds $35,000-a-plate fundraiser for 2020 re-election
Around 40 months before the next election, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday held a $35,000-a-plate dinner event at his hotel in Washington to raise funds for his 2020 re-election campaign. Republican National Committee officials were expecting to raise about $10 million, with about 300 invited donors. However, Trump barred reporters at the event, breaking the tradition of his predecessor.
