The Republican surrendered to the Fulton County jail in Atlanta facing more than a dozen charges related to his attempts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results and his alleged involvement in the notorious Capitol riot.
The campaign disclosed that Trump managed to raise $4.18 million on Friday alone, which is the highest amount raised in a 24-hour period thus far.
A substantial portion of the funds reportedly came from the sale of merchandise through their online stores, including items like mugs, T-shirts, and drink coolers featuring the mugshot image of the former president.
Additionally, the campaign has been actively requesting donations from supporters through emails and text messages.
