Trump raised $2 million hours after arraignment

Former President Donald Trump raised about $2 million at the first major fundraiser of his campaign, only hours after his arraignment in Miami.

The campaign raised $2.1 million during a “candlelight dinner” with top donors and campaign bundlers, according to a person familiar with the campaign. Trump gave brief remarks to his supporters and was seated at a table with donors and supporters that included Sen. Tommy Tuberville, (R-Ala.), according to an attendee.

The Trump campaign also raked in $4.5 million in digital fundraising since news of Trump’s indictment. The Trump campaign announced they brought in $6.6 million overall.

While Trump’s campaign has mostly relied on small dollar, grassroots donors, the fundraiser — which had a goal of raising around $2 million — demonstrates how Trump has still been able to rely on deep pocketed supporters to fill his campaign coffers even amid his legal troubles. The campaign has not yet released information on how much money Trump raised in the aftermath of his indictment, but it planned to make those numbers public following attention for his arraignment and a wave of fundraising pleas from his campaign.
