Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, is set to host a high-profile January 6 awards gala on September 5, aiming to raise funds to support individuals charged in connection with the January 6 Capitol attack.
Tickets for the event start at $1,500, and the fundraiser will benefit the Stand in the Gap Foundation, a non-profit organization offering financial help to those facing legal issues stemming from the riot.
Purpose and significance of the event
The gala, known as The J6 Awards Gala, is being organized to help cover the legal bills of those who found themselves in trouble after Trump lost the 2020 election.
Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol have faced numerous convictions. Prominent among the charged individuals are members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers militia groups, accused of conspiring to use violence to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
Notable attendees and invitations
LJ Fino, a producer involved in organizing the event, confirmed that Rudy Giuliani, a former attorney for Trump, is slated to attend. Fino also revealed to Forbes that former GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, who suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump, is invited alongside ex-Trump advisor Peter Navarro.
Trump’s potential attendance and ongoing legal context
When asked about Trump’s attendance, Senator Lindsey Graham did not provide a clear answer. She stated only that Trump was listed as an “invited guest speaker.”
The New York Times, citing a source close to Trump, reported that the former president is expected to skip the event. Trump’s campaign also informed Axios that he will not be attending.
Forbes announced that tickets for the gala are priced at $1,500 for general admission, $2,500 for individual VIP access, and VIP tables start at $30,000.
Meanwhile, Judge Tanya Chutkan is expected to address the next steps related to Trump’s involvement in the case on the same date, September 5. The Supreme Court had previously ruled in July that Trump has limited immunity from legal action.
