Venture capitalist and Republican megadonor Peter Thiel dropped $250,000 into President Donald Trump's joint fundraising committee, according to a new Federal Election Commission filing.

Thiel made the contribution to the Trump Victory Committee in July. It marked the first time since the 2016 presidential election that the conservative philanthropist donated to the organization, which benefits the Republican National Committee and the president's own re-election campaign.
