Steven Spielberg donates $1 million to Hilary Clinton's presidential campaign

Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg has contributed US $1 million to support former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

The contribution has gone to Clinton's 2016 Super PAC (Political Action Committee), which is a type of organisation that pools campaign contributions from members and donates those funds to campaign for or against candidates, ballot initiatives, or legislation, reported Deadline.

Other donors for Clinton's presidential bid include Star Wars director JJ Abrams and wife Katie McGrath, who each gave US $500,000.
