U.S. Republican presidential candidate Tim Scott speaks at the "Roast and Ride" event hosted by U.S. Republican Sen. Tim Scott huddled with over 50 donors at the Hamptons home of Wall Street veteran and former Trump administration official Frank Dunlevy on Wednesday night, according to people familiar with the matter. In fact, when CNBC reached out to Dunlevy before the party this week, he tried to dispute whether the fundraiser was at his house. Dunlevy lent his backyard to the official listed hosts of the Scott event, another person explained. Also attending the party was Gary Cohn, who served as director of the National Economic Council in 2017-18.
