Shaun McCutcheon, whose 2014 Supreme Court case opened the door to more money in politics, has a new political cause in Donald Trump.
McCutcheon, an Alabama engineer, was elected this week as a delegate to the Republican National Convention, and he’s pledged his support to the billionaire real estate mogul. Alabama was one of seven states Trump won during Super Tuesday, the biggest night so far in the 2016 presidential primaries. …
McCutcheon hasn’t contributed to any members of Congress or their challengers so far in the 2016 campaign, FEC records show, even though his lawsuit made it legal for individuals to give to as many candidates as they’d like.
“Well, you can give to them all if you’re Trump,” McCutcheon said. “Business hasn’t been that great, so I don’t have a ton of money to put out there this cycle.”
