Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump raised $13.6 million in the fourth fundraising quarter, according to the campaign’s filing with the Federal Election Commission.
Trump, who often boasts about that he is self-funding his campaign, loaned his campaign $10.8 million, leaving his operation with nearly $7 million in cash-on-hand.
The campaign reported that it spent nearly $7 million during the fourth quarter alone. It raised $2.6 million beyond Trump’s loan. Most came from small dollar donations.
The campaign owes $12.6 million to Trump himself.
The filing shows that the Trump campaign spent nearly $500,000 on hats, primarily on the red caps featuring the popular slogan “Make America Great Again.”
The real estate mogul’s filing comes less than 24 hours before the Iowa caucuses, where Trump holds a slight lead in polls over Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
