Lobbyists have so far raised $7 million for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, while Donald Trump’s campaign reports he has collected $0 from K Street fundraisers.
These numbers, derived from Federal Election Commission reports filed Friday, highlight the different approaches being taken by the two candidates

......That is unusual for a Republican presidential candidate, but Trump has sought to distance himself from the GOP establishment, including K Street, during his campaign.
Foreign members of parliament from the United Kingdom and Australia confirmed to The Hill that they received fundraising solicitations from the Trump campaign as recently as July 12 — two weeks after a widely publicized Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint issued on June 29 by nonpartisan watchdogs Democracy 21 and the Campaign Legal Center.

Who are Hillary's bundlers?
But Donald, zero!

Florida GOP financier Mel Sembler once said he had a “fear” of Donald Trump becoming his party’s presidential nominee, but he now will serve as a vice-chairman of the national effort to bundle $1 billion in contributions for him.

Does not equal that his campaign sent them.
But what matters? No money from lobbyists.

Those are joint funds, and future events.
And no foreign influence.

And one alarming part is most if not all elected Democrats are supporting the foreign money interventions by supporting Hillary Clinton on all levels of corruption.
Apparently this also includes Bernie Sanders because he has endorsed Hillary.

Can't seem to find any official statements or filings from the FEC.
Everything about that just links back to questionable claims.
Hmmm
Bob Blackman, a member of the U.K. House of Commons, shared with The Hill a fundraising solicitation sent to his government email address from the Trump campaign on July 12. "I did not sign up, these are sent unsolicited," Blackman told The Hill in an email. Another member of the U.K. Parliament, Peter Bottomley, said he'd received three solicitations from the Trump campaign.
