Trump Campaign Distributes Raised Funds to Victims in Butler, Pa.

The Trump campaign said on Friday that it was distributing $6.6 million that others donated to a GoFundMe account that it set up for victims of the July 13 assassination attempt on the former president in Butler, Pa.

“I can confirm that the majority of distributions have occurred or are imminent,” said Brian Hughes, a spokesman for the Trump campaign, in a text message to The New York Times on Friday.

The GoFundMe account, organized by the Trump campaign’s national finance director, received 70,300 donations. It far exceeded its original goal of $1 million. The Trump campaign did not receive the donated funds directly, but rather identified the recipients and oversaw the distribution of money from the GoFundMe account.

The Trump campaign has said the money will not be used for the presidential campaign, and GoFundMe rules do not allow it.

Two recipients of the money told The Times that they had received some of the donations.

Helen Comperatore, whose husband, Corey, was killed in the attack, said she had received funds from the GoFundMe account earlier this week. Ms. Comperatore declined to give the amount, but said she wanted to thank all the donors.

“It was just an honor to receive that,” Ms. Comperatore said in a phone interview. “I am going to do something very gracious and wonderful in honor of my husband with that money. I don’t know what yet.”
