Trump spent $9 million in February, gave campaign chief a raise

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's campaign paid out more than $9 million in February, spending big on political advertising, direct mail and airfare booked mostly through his own airline, according to an Associated Press review of the New York businessman's latest federal election filings.
Trump's campaign has so far expended more than $33 million since he joined a crowded field for the GOP presidential nomination last year. And his latest finance reports give some insight into who's benefiting from his campaign, which has been financed by about $24 million in loans from Trump himself and another $9.5 million in donations from the public.
