A pair of fundraisers Friday and Saturday at Mar-a-Lago netted about $12 million for Trump's re-election and the RNC, according to a person involved.

Friday was a fundraiser for the RNC, while a Saturday afternoon event was for Trump Victory, a joint committee for his campaign and the RNC.

Trump then returned to Washington to attend the Gridiron dinner.
