Trump Campaign Raises Over $45.5M in Q3

Former US President Donald Trump’s campaign announced to have raised more than $45 million in the third quarter as a result of “overwhelming grassroots” support for the Republican presidential frontrunner.

In a statement on Wednesday, the campaign said that Trump had raised more than $37.5 million cash on hand at the end of September, of which nearly $36 million has been designated for use in the primary, reports CNN.

According to a campaign aide, the third-quarter total were raised through Trump’s joint fundraising committee — the proceeds of which are split between his official campaign and the Save America political action committee.

The campaign also noted that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ campaign had previously announced that just $5 million of the $15 million raised by his political operation in the third quarter was available for the primary election battles ahead.

Trump and DeSantis are the first two candidates to announce fundraising totals for the July-to-September fundraising period, CNN reported.

All candidates must disclose details of their fundraising and spending to federal campaign finance regulators by the close of the day on October 15.

In the second quarter, Trump had raised about $35 million amid the criminal indictments against him earlier this year.

Recently, a US judge has issued a limited gag order against Trump in the New York civil fraud case after the latter made “disparaging” remarks about a court clerk.

Tuesday’s gag order is limited and restricted to public comments against members of court staff, reports the BBC.

Earlier on Tuesday, the former President had posted a picture on his social media site Truth Social of principal clerk Allison Greenfield with Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer at a campaign event.

In the post, he called Greenfield “Schumer’s girlfriend” and said that the case against him should be dismissed.

After a court break, Judge Arthur Engoron did not mention anyone by name but referenced the Truth Social post and said that a defendant “posted to a social media account a disparaging, untrue and personally identifying post about a member of my staff”.

“Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them under any circumstances,” he said. “Failure to abide by this order will result in serious sanctions,” the BBC quoted the judge as saying.

Justice Engoron said that his statement should be considered a gag order forbidding any posts, emails or public remarks about members of his staff.

The post was removed shortly after the gag order.

Trump has called the trial a “fraud” and a “scam” and pledged to take the stand in his own defence.
