Trump campaign says it raised more than $4 million in the 24 hours after his indictment

Source: NBC News via AOL

Former President Donald Trump raised more than $4 million in the 24 hours after news of his indictment in Manhattan became public, according to figures released by his campaign Friday.

The Trump campaign said that more than 25% of the donations came from first-time donors to the former president, "further solidifying President Trump’s status as the clear frontrunner in the Republican primary."

Trump's campaign sent out more than a half-dozen fundraising solicitations over email in less than 24 hours after his indictment, and he called for donations on his Truth Social platform as well.

A campaign official also told NBC News that it received 16,000 volunteer sign-ups over the past day as well.

He reported it. "according to figures released by his campaign Friday."

So, he's being investigated for falsifying business records and should never be trusted when he self reports.

I mean, yeah, it's $4 million. But in the scheme of things, especially presidential campaigns, it's beer money at best. I'm fairly sure that he has some contractor doing his fund raising and they get a cut, often a fairly steep cut (like 20% or so). They'll raise money from anyone over anything. I've seen innumerable candidates "raising money" the day before or the day of an election. It's their fund raising contractors trying to maximize their returns. The candidates have already allocated the funds they expect to have.

With Michael Cohen. I don’t believe for a minute that it’s 4 million. We know Trump inflates everything with all his lies and saying 25% with new people that’s just bullshit is my thoughts. As we know from his endless past performances, if he’s breathing, he’s lying.
