WASHINGTON - Small donors have responded to Donald Trump's legal problems by showering money on his presidential campaign, helping him roughly match the fundraising pace of Democratic President Joe Biden who is seeking re-election, according to disclosures released on Sunday.
It was the biggest two-day sum the campaign has reported taking in this year, a sign that Trump's legal problems, unprecedented for a former U.S. president, have become a major fundraising asset. Most of the contributions are less than $50. The Trump campaign's most recent financial disclosure, for the three months through September, showed the campaign bringing in more than $700,000 on Aug. 1 when Trump was indicted on federal charges related to his effort to overturn his election loss.
Trump on Sunday reported to the Federal Election Commission that his campaign raised $24.5 million in the July-September period, up from about $17 million during the previous three months.Both campaigns use other accounts to raise money known as joint fundraising committees.
