Donald Trump has raised $7.1 million since he was booked at Atlanta jail
Former President Donald Trump has amassed almost $20 million in the past three weeks, a timeframe that aligns with his indictment in federal and state cases linked to his allegations of election fraud, according to his campaign spokesperson on Saturday.
Within this period, including after the release of his mug shot following his arrest on racketeering and fraud charges in Atlanta, Georgia, Trump's campaign garnered $7.1 million, as stated by spokesperson Steven Cheung on the platform now known as X (previously Twitter).
Friday alone marked a significant fundraising day, with Trump accumulating $4.18 million, setting a new high for his campaign's financial intake, Cheung revealed.
Trump's mug shot, initially released by a Georgia courthouse on Thursday evening, has sparked a range of merchandise creation, including T-shirts, shot glasses, mugs, posters, and bobblehead dolls from both supporters and critics.
The photograph portrays Trump in a red tie, immaculate hair, and a stern expression. It was captured during his arrest on numerous felony charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
As he vies for the Republican Party's presidential nomination once again, Trump is currently facing four indictments. Among these are charges linked to his false claims about the election and his alleged involvement in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Trump has steadfastly denied all allegations.
On August 15, he was indicted by a Georgia grand jury following an investigation by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state.
Additionally, on August 3, he pleaded not guilty to charges from Special Counsel Jack Smith in federal court in Washington. These charges accuse him of conspiring to obstruct Congress from certifying Joe Biden's election victory and of depriving voters of their right to a fair election.
Furthermore, he has entered a not guilty plea to charges of illegally retaining classified documents after his presidential tenure and falsifying business records in a New York case connected to payments to Stormy Daniels, a porn star, before the 2016 presidential election.
