A controversial pro-Donald Trump super PAC mistakenly released the personal email addresses and cell phone numbers of hundreds of Trump-loving donors — and some of them are livid.

The email and phone number disclosure came as part a routine campaign finance filing Great America PAC made Tuesday night to the Federal Election Commission.

A Center for Public Integrityreview of the document identified 336 people who were affected by what Great America PAC's treasurer says was an "error" that occurred while electronically sending donor information to the FEC.

Trump's campaign formally disavowed Great America PAC in April in a letter to the FEC, but last week, Trump's son, Eric Trump, appeared at a fundraiserfor the group. Such a switch underscores Trump's tortured relationship with big-money politics and allied political groups he can't, by law, directly control.

Dan Backer, attorney and treasurer for Great America PAC, vowed to fix the mess.
