Donald Trump's mugshot has been plastered over his campaign merchandise with the former president's fierce glare proving to be a fundraising boon.
Trump is accused by District Attorney Fani Willis of scheming to subvert the will of Georgia voters in a desperate bid to keep Joe Biden out of the White House.Trump's campaign says he has raised $7.1 million since he was booked at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia on charges that he illegally schemed to overturn the 2020 election in the state - and became the first former president in US history to have a mug shot taken.
The mounting legal charges have also failed to dent Trump's standing in the Republican presidential primary, with the former president now routinely beating his rivals by 30 to 50 points in polls. Trump amplified that message both on his Truth Social site and by returning to X, the site formerly known as Twitter, for the first time in two-and-a-half years to share the image and direct supporters to a fundraising page.
The new contributions, he said, had helped push the campaign's fundraising haul over the last three weeks to close to $20 million.
