WaPo Confirms $5 Million Adelson Gift To Pro-Gingrich Super PAC | Last month, Politico reported that GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich’s longtime benefactor Sheldon Adelson intended to give $20 million to a super PAC supporting the former House Speaker. Adelson’s representatives denied the report. Now, a Washington Post report says Adelson cut a $5 million check to the Super PAC, Winning Our Future, and intends to spend millions more on the presidential race. Adelson, a billionaire donor to Republican and right-wing pro-Israel causes, recently supported Gingrich’s statement that Palestinians are an “invented people.”
