Getting Indicted Is Apparently Good for Fundraising

“Donald Trump followed a predictable pattern this week,” CNN reports.

“The former president announced Tuesday a new set of legal troubles, this time a letter from special counsel Jack Smith that said he is the target of a criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. By day’s end, he was asking his supporters for campaign donations to help him fend off what he called ‘another vicious act of Election Interference on behalf of the Deep State.'”

“Recent disclosures with the Federal Election Commission underscore how much these criminal cases – and Trump’s fundraising around them – have boosted his campaign finances as he mounts a third White House bid.”
