Washington: Trump's indictment in federal and state cases related to his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him occurred roughly three weeks ago, and the former president has raised nearly $20 million during that time, according to a spokesman for Trump's campaign on Saturday.
The former president has earned $7.1 million since showing up to have his picture taken for a racketeering and fraud case in Atlanta, Georgia, according to Trump spokesman Steven Cheung on X, a platform that was formerly known as Twitter.
According to Cheung, Trump earned $4.18 million on Friday alone, making it the campaign's highest-earning day to date. Trump, who was elected president in 2016 but lost to Joe Biden, a Democrat, in 2020, is once again vying for the Republican Party's presidential nomination.

He entered a not guilty plea on August 3 in federal court in Washington to charges that he conspired to defraud the country by preventing Congress from certifying Biden's victory over him in the 2020 election and to deny voters their right to a fair election. The charges were brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
