President-elect Trump's inaugural committee has smashed fundraising records, racking up more than $200 million in pledges.

Donations have come from leaders of big tech, financial services, and telecommunications.

Some of those companies have big federal contracts or are regulated by the federal government.

Ali Rogan spoke with Craig Holman, an expert on ethics and campaign finance rules for public

citizen, and Cecilia Kang, who covers technology for the New York Times.

Thank you both so much for being here.

Craig, you've put together a research document on the Trump Vance inaugural committee fundraising. How much have they raised and who's

donating?

It's shattering all records this time around. You know, the Trump inaugural committee

originally targeted $150 million to spend on the inauguration, which by itself would break

records. Then it upped it to 200 million

because money just started flowing in. And today we know it's going to be around 250 million.

And it shatters not only all records in terms of spending, but also in terms of donations.

The donations that we're aware of at this point are all a million dollars to five million dollars.

From the same donors who used to give to previous inaugurations, Trump's first one,

but back then it was in amounts of it, maybe 50,000 or 100,000.

You mentioned that it's some of the same folks.

So who tends to be high on the list?

Well, at top of this list is the cryptocurrency industry.

So we've got Ripple, that's given $5 million.

You've got Coinbase, it's given $1 million.

You've got Krakken that's given $1 million.
