Former FBI Director James Comey and his wife donated to the presidential campaign of Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), according to recently released Federal Election Commission filings.
Comey donated $2,700 to Klobuchar’s campaign, and his wife made two separate contributions — $1,000 and $1,700 — during the first quarter of 2019. Individuals can contribute a maximum of $2,800 during the primaries.
Their donations were first reported by Rolling Stone.
{mosads}Other high-profile donors to Klobuchar’s campaign include Minnesota Vikings owner Zygi Wilf, Twenty-First Century Fox CEO Dana Walden and Zynga founder Mark Pincus.
Klobuchar and Comey were in the same law school class at the University of Chicago. Comey once told Vogue that Klobuchar was “annoyingly smart.”
Klobuchar is one of 20 presidential candidates vying for the 2020 Democratic nomination. That number is expected to grow to 21 on Thursday, when former Vice President Joe Biden enters the race.
