A third Portland businessman and longtime supporter of Republican candidates backed away from Donald Trump on Monday, saying he never agreed to be listed as a host of the presidential nominee's Seattle fundraiser.

Portland investor Peter Stott said in a statement Monday he has no role in Trump's campaign and has asked the campaign and Republican Party to remove his name from materials for the Washington event. An invitation to the fundraiser was obtained and reported by the Seattle Times.

"While I have been a longtime supporter of Republican candidates and causes, I have no role in the Trump campaign and did not approve the use of my name in conjunction with any Trump campaign event in Seattle," Stott said in a statement to The Oregonian/OregonLive. "I have requested that the campaign and Republican Party correct their records and remove my name from any invitations or other materials."

Portland hotelier Gordon Sondland and his business associate Bashar Wali, who was also listed as a host of the Seattle event, are also withholding support from Trump, a spokeswoman told The Oregonian/Oregonlive on Sunday. The Trump campaign had announced in July Sondland help fundraise for the candidate in Oregon as a state victory finance chair.
