Miami GP issues warning to Trump fundraiser

The F1 Miami Grand Prix sent a cease-and-desist letter Friday night to prominent Donald Trump fundraiser Steven Witkoff informing him that he “cannot use a suite at an upcoming Formula One race as a high-dollar fundraiser for the Trump campaign.” Sources said that the former President has “been planning to attend the race” scheduled for May 5, with the secret service having “reached out to race officials to coordinate Trump’s attendance.” The terms of the suite state it cannot be used for “advertising, promotional or commercial purposes (including without limitation, prizes, competitions, contests, or sweepstakes) without the prior written consent of Promoter and the F1 entities” (WASHINGTON POST, 4/26).
