Newt Gingrich to attend Romney fundraiser with Donald Trump in Las Vegas [View all]

Source: ABC

Billionaire real estate investor and television personality Donald Trump is hosting a pricey fundraiser for presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in Las Vegas next Tuesday and Newt Gingrich is expected to make an appearance, Yahoo News has learned.

"Newt is expected to be there along with many other well known people," Michael Cohen, Trump's special counsel, told Yahoo News.

To co-chair the fundraiser at Trump International Hotel, supporters are required to raise $250,000 on behalf of Romney's presidential campaign, according to the invitation to the event. A VIP reception with Romney costs $10,000 and the minimum donation to attend is $2,500.

Trump, who officially endorsed Romney in February, will play "a significant role" at the fundraiser, Cohen said.
