Former President Donald Trump has reportedly raised more than $200 million since a Manhattan jury returned a guilty verdict against him in court last week.
The revelation was made by one of the president’s sons, Eric Trump, whose wife is Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump.
Eric Trump was asked by Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” about how much money the former president has raised since last Thursday’s verdict.
“This might be a little inside information, but as I was leaving my house about 37 seconds ago, I asked my wife, what are we up to now?” he said. “And [Lara] said, just in terms of small dollar, we’re well over $70 million. This is $21 donations, $43 donations, right, small dollar donations.”
“If you add the large dollar donations to it, you’re over $200 million,” he continued.
Eric Trump noted that “30 percent of those people have never been seen before by a political party” as they were first time political donors.
“I mean, these are Americans who are pissed off,” he continued. “They’re coming out of the woodwork and they want to support a guy that they just believe he’s getting bamboozled by a system.”
