He claims that he gave equally. Is there any evidence / corroboration?
To me the bigger story is that he was able to give a million dollars in influence money at all, although I guess that shouldn’t be surprising.
(to be clear, I don't believe that, and also see no reason he'd be lying. That doesn't mean there isn't one though - and he could also be lying for no reason)
His donations became a political hot potato so maybe they’re like “look, man, my hands are tied here so maybe if you can deflect some of this heat we can work something out.” Voila, millions of untraceable donations to the republicans.
