CNN —Former President Donald Trump’s joint fundraising committee raised more than $35 million in the second quarter of 2023, a haul his team says was boosted by his recent federal indictment, a Trump campaign official told CNN.
The figure nearly doubles the $18.8 million he raised in the first quarter of this year through the committee, which is split between Trump’s official campaign and his Save America political action committee.
Politico first reported Trump’s second quarter fundraising numbers.
The Trump campaign has been aggressively fundraising off of the former president’s legal troubles.
CNN previously reported that Trump raised more than $6.6 million in the five days following news of his federal indictment, including $2.1 million raised at a preplanned fundraiser.
