Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign announced that it has raised $7 million since his recent federal indictment, as his narrative of political persecution continues to resonate strongly among his dedicated followers. In an email to supporters, Trump's campaign highlighted that he has garnered over $6.6 million and counting, attributing the fundraising success to what they perceive as a politically motivated prosecution by the U.S. special counsel, referenced as "Deranged Jack Smith."

 Trump's 2024 White House campaign reported raising over $7 million since his federal indictment, with more than $4.5 million coming from digital fundraising efforts. An additional $2.1 million was generated through a donor event held at Trump's Bedminster Club in New Jersey.

Trump, who is currently leading the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, confirmed that fundraising had surpassed the $7 million mark since the announcement of his indictment.

The charges against Trump involve allegations of illegally retaining classified government documents after leaving office and conspiring to obstruct a federal investigation related to the matter.

 Trump has framed the charges as a politically motivated attack intended to hinder his presidential aspirations and harm Republicans. He pleaded not guilty to all 37 counts and has rallied his supporters, claiming that they are the ultimate target.

Polling shows that a significant majority of Republicans view the charges as politically motivated. Trump's campaign has previously experienced fundraising success when facing legal challenges.

A pro-Trump group supporting his quest for the Republican nomination is making significant strides in terms of outside political spending, surpassing previous records for early-stage campaign contributions. Trump aims to outpace his closest competitor, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, as reported by reliable sources.
