Former US President Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign has recently raised USD 7.1 million following his surrender in the Georgia election subversion case, CNN reported. Over the three weeks since his indictment and arraignment in Washington related to the federal January 6 case and his surrender and processing at the Fulton County jail in Georgia, the campaign has raised around USD 20 million.
In the mug shot taken at the Fulton County jail, Trump appears "unfazed and unbowed," according to The New York Times. Despite not feeling "comfortable" with the situation, Trump has turned it into an opportunity by selling merchandise featuring his mug shot. The merchandise, which includes USD 34 shirts, was for sale about 90 minutes after his release from jail and was accompanied by the words “NEVER SURRENDER!”
The legal troubles for Trump have mounted in recent weeks, with prosecutors bringing two indictments related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Earlier this month, special counsel Jack Smith brought four federal charges against the former president, including conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. Last week, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis brought 41 charges against Trump and 18 co-defendants.
Not one to shy away from the spotlight, Trump made a comeback to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to share a fundraising note. In his post, Trump expressed his determination to save America and asked his supporters to make a campaign contribution “to evict” President Joe Biden.
The former president has also recently raked up the issue of high taxes on American products in India. According to reports, he has said that if voted to power, he would impose a reciprocal tax on India. It remains to be seen whether the high taxes levied on American products in India will be repealed, if Trump gets re-elected.
