Trump Brags About 'Really Big' Fundraising Support Amid Federal Indictment

Former President Donald Trump's reelection campaign has raised more than $7 million since news of the Justice Department's federal indictment first broke, Trump's team told Newsweek Wednesday night.

The total includes more than $4.5 million raised through digital fundraising, read a release from Trump's team earlier Wednesday and shared to Trump's Truth Social account. An additional $2.1 million stems from an event at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Tuesday, hours after Trump was arraigned in Florida over his post-presidency handling of classified documents.

In the release shared by Trump, his campaign said the total was $6.6 million "and counting." Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington later told Newsweek via email that the total had climbed to more than $7 million.

"REALLY BIG FUNDRAISING, EVEN GREATER POLLS, SINCE THE RADICAL LEFT INDICTMENT HOAX WAS INITIATED BY THE MISFITS, MUTANTS, MARXISTS, & COMMUNISTS!" Trump wrote in a separate Truth Social post Wednesday. "THANK YOU !!!"
