Cha-ching! Billionaire Trump To Raise Campaign Cash In Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES (CBS / AP) — Donald Trump has booked his first campaign fund-raiser, to take place in two weeks in Los Angeles.
That's according to Steven Mnuchin, Trump's newly named national finance chairman. Mnuchin would not share details of the event, but he tells The Associated Press that he's had a "very good reception" and that it will be hosted by a "high-profile" donor.

Mnuchin says more fundraising details will soon be announced, including the names of state- and regional-level fund-raisers. He says the campaign and Republican Party are "very, very close" to inking a joint fund-raising deal.
Mnuchin spoke with the AP in Las Vegas, where he's attending a financial industry conference hosted by Anthony Scaramucci. Scaramucci last week told The AP he'd signed on with Trump's fund-raising team.
