The head of the Congressional Leadership Fund, Corry Bliss, reportedly attended the meeting, along with Republican Jewish Coalition Chairman Norm Coleman, a former Minnesota senator; Ryan’s political aide, Jake Kastan; and Adelson’s wife. 

Adelson’s latest contribution is three times more than the $10 million he gave in August 2016.

The contribution comes as Republicans prepare to face off with Democrats in November. 

Democrats have had a series of successful fundraising hauls in the lead up to November’s contests, as 40 House Democratic candidates outraised Republican incumbents in the first fundraising quarter of 2018.
