Trump nearly doubles fundraising in second quarter amid mounting legal challenges
Trump's joint fundraising team raised more than $35 million in second quarter, nearly doubling its total from the first quarter. Former President Donald Trump's joint fundraising team raked in more than $35 million between March and June of this year, a campaign spokesperson told ABC News. The second quarter haul is nearly double Team Trump’s first quarter total of $18.8 million from earlier this year, a sign that the former president’s fundraising operation is ramping up amid his mounting legal challenges, including the indictment in the Manhattan district attorney’s case and the federal indictment in Florida related to his handling of classified documents. Trump denied wrongdoing in both cases, and he has entered a plea of not guilty to all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records brought in the Manhattan case.
