New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft donated $1 million to help pay for President Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to records released by the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday.
Trump raised a record-breaking $102 million for his inaugural celebrations, garnering seven-figure donations from corporations, billionaires, and NFL owners including Kraft. The donation from Kraft Group was received in early December, according to the inauguration committee disclosure.
Political contributions aren’t new for the owner of the five-time Super Bowl champions — Kraft donated the most money of all NFL team owners to President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign in 2012.
