U.S. NATIONAL NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online URGENT Billionaire gives $5 million to pro-Gingrich group January 07, 2012 11:26 PM MANCHESTER, N.H. A Las Vegas billionaire with ties to Newt Gingrich has given $5 million to an independent group backing the former House Speaker's presidential bid. A person familiar with the situation said casino mogul Sheldon Adelson made the contribution Friday to Winning Our Future, a pro-Gingrich super PAC. The person said Adelson would spend heavily to assist whichever candidate wins the Republican nomination. Adelson is a longtime supporter of GOP candidates and has been a friend and backer of Gingrich for many years. Gingrich's campaign has struggled since a super PAC supporting Mitt Romney spent $3 million on ads attacking him in Iowa. The Washington Post first reported the $5 million contribution. Politico reported last month that Adelson was prepared to spend $20 million to help Gingrich. |
