NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- President Donald Trump raised more than $800,000 at a closed fundraiser Sunday for a Republican New Jersey congressman who helped broker an agreement to pass a bill to dismantle the national health care law.
Trump appeared at an event with Rep. Tom MacArthur at the president's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. One of the speakers was New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, according to an attendee. Members of the media traveling with Trump were barred from attending.
MacArthur campaign spokesman Chris Russell said the event included 100 guests. Some donated up to $100,000 to attend the event, which is Trump's first for a member of Congress.
MacArthur was a leading member of a group of moderate House Republicans who helped revive the bill to dismantle the Obamacare law. Senate Republicans are working on their own version of the health care bill and the measure faces an uncertain future.

they WILL attempt to ram through dumpcare. Too much pressure from their paymasters. Gotta finance those tax cuts.
They think there is enough time before 2018 for dimwitted puke voters to forget what they've done. And they think the rest of our votes aren't going to matter.
We live in a corporate fascist oligarchy.
