AT&T gave $2 million to President Trump's inaugural committee
AT&T was among the largest contributors to President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee, accounting for more than $2 million of the record-breaking $106.7 million haul. The telecommunication behemoth gave $2 million in cash contributions as well as an $82,483 in-kind donation for “mobile equipment/software.” Though the contribution exceeds those of AT&T’s rivals, it still falls short of the $3 million it gave for President Obama’s 2013 inauguration.
Verizon, Charter Communications and Comcast contributed a combined $600,000 to the Trump inaugural committee. And tech companies that showed little support for Trump during the campaign also gave hundreds of thousands to the committee. Google gave $285,000, and Microsoft made a $250,000 cash donation along with a $250,000 in-kind contribution in the form of equipment.
