(The Hill) - A fundraising event for defendants of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol scheduled to take place at former President Trump’s golf club in New Jersey this week has been postponed indefinitely.
The “J6 Awards Gala,” hosted by nonprofit Stand in the Gap, was planned for Thursday at Trump’s Bedminster, N.J. golf club. According to the event’s website, the date has been “postponed” and the location and time are to be announced.
In an August statement to Fox Business, event organizer L.J. Fino said the event was postponed due to “scheduling conflicts of invited guest speakers.”
The event invited Trump to speak, though he was not expected to attend.
Rudy Giuliani, former New York mayor and Trump attorney who has dealt with his own legal battles regarding the 2020 presidential election, was confirmed to speak at the event.
Conservative comedian Anthony Raimondi confirmed to Fox Business that he plans to attend the event.
The funds raised at the event will provide the Jan. 6 defendants with “much-needed assistance” as they face “significant challenges.”
The event also intends to “honor and celebrate” 20 defendants who contributed to the “powerful ‘Justice For All’ song.”
“Released on March 3, 2023, this song quickly went Platinum, thanks to your unwavering support,” the event website said. “Now, we gather to pay tribute only to these individuals but to all J6 defendants who have shown incredible courage and sacrifice.”
Tickets ranged from $1,500 per person for general admission to $50,000 for a “platinum” 12-person table, NBC News reported.
