Is there any evidence at all of him giving “similar” money to republicans, other than his own word (which is garbage)?

The indictment (which required providing evidence to a grand jury for each count to establish probable cause) includes charges of illegal concealed-identity political donations. While it doesn't specify the recipients, this is consistent with his description of how he donated to Republicans to avoid criticism for such donations.

The indictment doesn't provide any specificity as to the side of the aisle relevant to the campaign finance law violations.

Ryan Salame donated multi-millions to republicans, and was given 55m loan from FTX/Alameda.

Not that I've seen. The other replies seem to support it yet don't provide any evidence.
