Nearly 60 donations of a million dollars or more accounted for about a third of the more than $380 million brought in so far for the 2016 presidential election, according to an Associated Press analysis of fundraising reports filed with federal regulators through Friday. Donors who gave at least $100,000 account for about half of all donations so far to candidates' presidential committees and the super PACs that support them. That concentration of money from a small group of wealthy donors builds on a trend that began in 2012, the first presidential contest after a series of court rulings and regulatory steps that created the super PAC. WRCB has the story from the AP.
