Hedge-fund billionaire Steve Cohen and his wife gave the super PAC supporting Chris Christie another $2 million last month, bringing their total to $6 million, before his disappointing finish in New Hampshire.

America Leads finished January with $760,000 on hand after blowing $6.2 million on the eve of the nominating contest's first ballots, according to a filing Friday with the Federal Election Commission. Quicken Loans founder Daniel Gilbert kicked in another $500,000 toward the month's $3.7 million haul, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones gave $200,000.


The committee reported spending another $1.35 million in early February on television and online ads. Its receipts for the month won't be disclosed until March.

Christie's campaign, which started the year with just over $1 million in the bank, finished January with less than $750,000, according to its own FEC filing. Fundraising slowed to $836,000 while the campaign dropped $1.2 million betting big on New Hampshire.
