Donations have soared to former President Donald Trump’s campaign, with $7 million raised in just three days since he was indicted.
Jason Miller, senior adviser to Trump, made the announcement in a post on Twitter.
Miller’s post follows an earlier announcement by Trump’s political action committee, which noted that in the 24 hours since the former president was indicted by a New York grand jury, his presidential campaign had raised over $4 million.
The Make America Great Again Inc. political action committee said in a statement Friday that since a grand jury empaneled by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg voted on Thursday to indict the former president, his campaign has seen donations soar.
“This incredible surge of grassroots contributions confirms that the American people see the indictment of President Trump as a disgraceful weaponization of our justice system by a Soros-funded prosecutor,” the statement said, noting that over 25 percent came from first-time donors.
The grand jury voted on Thursday to indict Trump on allegations linked to a business records investigation related to a “hush money” payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016 over an alleged affair Trump has denied.
Trump is the first-ever U.S. president to face criminal charges.
The former president’s campaign called Bragg’s investigation of the former president an “unprecedented political persecution” and “blatant interference” in the 2024 presidential election, with Trump being the leading Republican candidate.
Bragg, for his part, has pushed back on the characterization of the probe against Trump as politically motivated.
Leslie B. Dubeck, the general counsel for Bragg’s office, wrote a letter to top House Republican chairmen, denouncing what she called “baseless and inflammatory allegations that our investigation is politically motivated.
