Following the release of his Fulton County Jail mugshot last Thursday, former President Donald Trump’s campaign has reportedly raised $7.1 million, according to several reports.
Trump, who is the first U.S. president to have his mug shot taken, surrendered himself to be booked in Georgia last Thursday evening. In Fulton County, the former president is facing 13 different charges stemming from his efforts to overturn election results in the state.
According to a report from The Hill, a spokesperson for Trump’s campaign confirmed the total funds raised, adding that, on Friday alone, he raised $4.18 million.
In the last three weeks, Trump has not only faced two separate indictments, but his campaign has also brought in nearly $20 million, Politico reported.
Last week’s indictment was the fourth this year for Trump, but it was the only one to require the former president to take a mugshot, making the moment historic.
Other indictments Trump is facing include one in Manhattan over alleged hush money payments he made in 2016, one involving his handling of classified documents after his presidency, and another for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
In Georgia, Trump is being charged under the state’s Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) law. Other notable names among the 18 charged with Trump in the state include former New York City mayor Rudy Guliani, former Trump attorney John Eastman, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and more.
As for his mugshot, Trump has been marketing several items depicting the photo, doing so after making his return to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Trump is selling T-shirts, koozies, bumper stickers, mugs, and more with the photo and phrase “never surrender” on them.
