Where is Donald Trump Today? Newport Beach, L.A. High-Priced Fundraisers
Donald Trump is busy fundraising across Southern California at a Newport Beach private event, a morning Beverly Hills breakfast and Bel Air.
Newport Beach, CA — Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for 2016, began today in Beverly Hills at a 10 a.m. fundraiser at a Beverly Hills home, followed by Newport Beach private fundraiser, back to Beverly Hills and ending up in Bel Air, according to reports.
Local broadcast reports said Trump is also sandwiching an Orange County fundraiser between today's Los Angeles events. That fundraiser will reportedly be held in Newport Beach.
Trump will conduct what is likely Los Angeles' costliest political fundraiser tonight in Bel Air with a top ticket price of $449,400 per couple, part of a daylong fund-raising swing through the Southland.
