Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has raised a whopping $7.1 million after he surrendered himself to authorities where his mug shot was taken at the Fulton County jail on Thursday.
Trump surrendered himself after being indicted alongside 18 others in a 98-page, 41-count indictment by DA Fani Willis.
Fulton County jail made Trump take a mug shot, the first in history for a former president.
Trump later posted the photo of mug shot on Twitter, with a link directing his supporters to donate to his campaign.
“If you are doing poorly due to the sinister people in control of our country right now, don’t even think about donating,” Trump’s webpage read.
“But if you can, please make a contribution to evict Crooked Joe Biden from the White House and SAVE AMERICA during this dark chapter in our nation’s history.”
The Trump campaign also sold merchandise with photos of the mugshot that had the tagline “NEVER SURRENDER!”
As Breitbart reported:
Friday saw the highest-grossing fundraising day of Trump’s campaign thus far, with $4.18 million raised, according to Trump adviser Steven Cheung.
“Organic money has skyrocketed, especially after @realDonaldTrump tweeted out the picture along with the website URL,” Cheung added.
Further, the Trump campaign has raised close to $20 million in the last three weeks since Trump was indicted by Willis and Special Counsel Jack Smith for his alleged role in the January 6 Capitol Rrots. The Trump campaign is expected to cross the $20 million mark in a few days, a campaign aide told Breitbart News.
Trump’s campaign has seen similar fundraising boosts in the aftermath of the former president’s three previous indictments.
Trump has been released on a $200,000 bond in the Georgia case, the highest amount out of any of his co-defendants.
