CLEVELAND, Ohio -- More than three dozen CEOs and executives gathered at FirstEnergy Stadium Tuesday morning. Some hoped for face time with Donald Trump and left with only pictures of the field where the Cleveland Browns play.

According to Time, the group -- collectively known as the Trump Leadership Council and formed to advise Trump on business issues -- interacted with GOP lawmakers in town for the Republican National Convention. Three members of the group told the magazine there was an expectation to donate to the Trump campaign and that he would be there.

However, Time was later told Trump was never scheduled to attend. Members are not, in fact, required to make a donation, the magazine also reported.

Trump flew back to New York following his appearance at the convention. He is scheduled to return to Cleveland on Wednesday for his running mate Mike Pence's nomination acceptance speech.
