Trump campaign reports raising US$14.5mil in early 2023 FMTNews FMTWorld
WASHINGTON: Donald Trump’s presidential campaign on Saturday reported raising US$14.5 million during the first three months of this year, with contributions accelerating sharply after he announced he was about to be criminally indicted.
But the filing shows at least US$2.7 million raised from individual donors in the two weeks after March 18, when he announced that a Manhattan grand jury was about to charge him after an investigation into hush money Trump allegedly paid to a mistress ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, has denied having a sexual encounter with the woman at the centre of the investigation and calls the probe a witch hunt by his political enemies. His indictment on March 30 made him the first former US president to face criminal charges.The campaign reported spending US$3.5 million through March, with close to half going to his campaign payroll and travel expenses.
Still, Trump has not sewn up the money race for the Republican nomination, and some experts say his legal woes, which include other potentially more serious investigations, could push Republicans tired of the drama around him to look for another presidential candidate.
