Story highlights Clinton is expected to raise a billion dollars for her White House effort

Clinton filed paperwork on Wednesday to a new agreement with the Democratic Party

(CNN) Major fundraisers got face time with Hillary Clinton on Friday as the now-presumptive Democratic nominee begins her general election campaign.

Clinton met with 80 of her campaign's top bundlers at her Washington home. The invite-only event was open to those Clinton supporters who had raised or given more than $500,000 to the campaign, according to Democrats with knowledge of the event.
