His campaign pulled in nearly $4m after Trump’s first arraignment in March and considerably less – but still more than $1m – after his arraignment in June, according to the New York Times. How have the Trump team responded? Minutes after Trump left Washington, his son Eric Trump sent out a fundraising email calling the city “the belly of the beast”, according to NBC News. He also posted Thursday ahead of his arraignment: “I NEED ONE MORE INDICTMENT TO ENSURE MY ELECTION!” The former president earlier said being arrested was “a great honor” in a post on Truth Social, his social media platform. Each time, Trump and his supporters, as well as detractors, have moved to gain from his time in court. It is the third time Trump has been arraigned this year, and he is the only former US president in history to be criminally indicted. Trump was arrested and arraigned on four felony counts outlined in the special counsel, Jack Smith’s, indictment: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights.
