Haim and Cheryl Saban Give Additional $2 Million to Pro-Clinton SuperPAC
Media mogul Haim Saban and his wife Cheryl each gave $1 million to Priorities USA Action, the SuperPAC that is backing Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid.
According the Federal Election Commission reports, the Sabans made their contributions on March 16.
Last year, the Sabans each gave $2.5 million to the SuperPAC.
The FEC reports for the month of March were due on Tuesday. Priorities reported raising $11.9 million during the month, and had $44.7 million on hand.
Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg have each given $1 million to Priorities, and Katzenberg has been lining up donors to the group. Director J.J. Abrams and his wife each gave $500,000. Other contributors include Jane Fonda, who gave $10,000 in February, and IATSE, which contributed $25,000 that same month.
Saban, Katzenberg and Spielberg were all co-hosts of a fundraiser featuring Hillary Clinton at the home of George Clooney on Saturday. The event raised money for the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint committee of the Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state party committees.
