Former President Donald Trump's campaign has formally disavowed any affiliation with the Patriot Party - a new political party he was rumored to have been mulling despite concerns over it fracturing the GOP - handing Democrats easy wins in future elections.

In a Monday notice filed with the Federal Election Commission, the Trump Campaign disavowed 'the activities of a committee named Patriot Party, whose listed Treasurer is Michael Joseph Gaul.'

Gaul filed a Statement of Organization (Form 1) listing the Trump campaign as a participant in joint fundraising activities - which the campaign says they never authorized.

The campaign said in their filing that they have "not entered into any joint fundraising agreement to fundraise through Patriot Party, and has no knowledge of Patriot Party's activities whatsoever."

"To be clear: DJTFP [Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.] has no affiliation with Patriot Party, which is not authorized by Mr. Trump or DJTFP."

Reports suggest that President Trump has abandoned the idea of creating a new political party, and that he will instead focus for the next two years on helping Republicans win back the House and Senate.

The notion of Trump abandoning the GOP and creating a ‘Patriot Party’ was floated last week with a report in the Wall Street Journal noting that aides had suggested Trump was considering the idea.

The idea was provided more credence with Trump’s comments during his farewell speech, as he announced that “the movement we started is just beginning,” and that he would be “back in some form”.
