Lindsey Graham tried to raise funds for Trump's war chest just after the former president was indicted.
Graham told Fox News viewers to donate to Trump and "give the man some money" to fight the case.
During the interview, Graham also called the New York indictment of Trump "legal voodoo."
After Trump falsely predicted that he would get arrested on March 14, the Trump campaign pumped out multiple fundraising emails calling for contributions.
The Democratic Governors Association and multiple Democrat PACs have sent out their own donation requests since Trump's indictment, The Times reported.

SAN FRANCISCO — Cryptocurrency hasn’t worked out so well for tech investors.
As a consumer product, supplements are associated more with the Kardashians or Joe Rogan than with Silicon Valley.
Roelof Botha, the managing partner of Sequoia Capital, one of the largest venture capital firms in the world, is among those buying in.
He said there’s a “societal reawakening” about the complex biome of the human gut where hundreds of species of bacteria live.
She co-wrote a review of the science this year, and said future probiotic supplements have promise compared to supplements that have been available for decades.
He publicly announced his purchase of Montgomery’s data in August at a gathering in Missouri of hundreds of his followers.
“I own it,” Lindell said of Montgomery’s data, touting it as irrefutable proof Trump was cheated.
On Nov. 9, far-right podcaster Joe Oltmann linked Montgomery’s Hammer and Scorecard claims to a parallel conspiracy theory: that widely used voting machines manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems were rigged to flip votes from Trump to Biden.
Powell amended her complaint a few days later and dropped the expert’s declaration and the references to Montgomery’s claims.
But the government said in a recent court filing that the order has nothing to do with election data.

Reaganomics, voodoo economics, trickle-down theory; whatever you call it, 1980s political economy is back in Britain, and the markets hate it.
The new British government announced surprise tax cuts on Friday costing about 1.8% of GDP, with no explanation of how to pay for them other than some hand-waving at “growth.”
