Trump met last night with billionaires, but W.H. spokesweasel vows "no fundraising"
(CNN)President Donald Trump plans to have dinner with several of his high-level political supporters at a private residence in Washington on Wednesday night, a source familiar with the dinner told CNN.
However, CNN has learned that former ambassador C. Boyden Gray is hosting the meal at his Georgetown home, and billionaire oilman Harold Hamm and Brian Walsh, the president of America First Policies, are slated to attend, among others.
Hamm is a longtime political donor who has been friends with Trump since 2012. Gray served as White House counsel to President George H.W. Bush and served as US Ambassador to the European Union and as US Special Envoy to Europe for Eurasian Energy under President George W. Bush.
"The President will be having dinner with a small group of supporters at a private residence in town. No fundraising," deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters told CNN Wednesday, though many of the attendees have provided financial backing to Trump's campaign and other Republicans supporting the President.
