Trump Reportedly Raises $200+ Million Since Verdict

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.”

Tom Cotton Signals Openness To Being Trump’s VP

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) signaled an openness to being former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick when asked about the matter over the weekend.

Cotton was asked about the matter during a Sunday interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” with guest host Peter Alexander.

“You are reportedly on Donald Trump’s short list of possible running mates,” Alexander said. “Would you accept if Donald Trump asked you?”

“Well, Peter, Donald Trump’s going to make this choice,” Cotton responded. “I suspect only he knows who’s on his short list.”

He said that he has not talked to Trump or the Trump campaign about who Trump will pick as his vice presidential running mate or about any position in his administration.

When asked if he would accept the job if offered it, Cotton responded: “Peter, any great patriot, if offered a chance to serve our country by the president, would have to consider it seriously. But what I’m focused on, like the president, is making sure that we win this election in November, and I want to help him govern successfully to restore the peace and prosperity that he brought to America for four years that Joe Biden has destroyed.”
