Donald Trump’s campaign says it has raised $7.1 million since the former president was processed at an Atlanta jail Thursday, thanks in part to merchandise featuring his mug shot.
Trump’s fundraising total for the past three weeks, following his indictments in Washington, DC, related to the federal January 6, 2021, case and in the Georgia election subversion case, is close to $20 million, a Trump campaign official said.
On Friday, the day after his arrest in Fulton County, Trump raised $4.18 million, the highest-grossing day of the entire campaign, the source said.
Following Trump’s arrest, his campaign immediately began selling merchandise featuring the former president’s mug shot. The sales have contributed to the high fundraising totals, according to the source.
Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie this morning slammed Trump for fundraising off the mug shot. “There’s almost nothing more that he could do that would surprise me in terms of the ongoing grift,” the former New Jersey governor said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
