The Donald Trump campaign has raised a staggering $200 million since the former president was found guilty of 34 felonies last Thursday, his son Eric Trump said Sunday.
Eric, who is married to The Republican National Committee (RNC) Co-Chair Lara Trump, said she told him the figure was comprised of over $70 million in small donor fundraising in the three days since his father was found guilty of 34 felonies related to falsifying business records.
'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?' Eric Trump told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo.
'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.'
The former president's son continued: 'If you add the large dollar donations to it, you're over $200 million.'
'And by the way, Maria 30 percent of those people have never been seen before by a political party.'
The numbers that Eric Trump cited appear to show that the support is not just coming from Republican voters.
The free flow of fundraising to the campaign indicates a groundswell of aid for the former president after his historic trial.
'I mean, these are Americans who are pissed off. 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.'
On Friday, Eric Trump posted on his social media that the campaign had received $52.8 million in donations in the 24 hours since the hush money trial verdict was delivered.
A little over a day later that has ballooned to over $200 million, largely from the help of a single major donation.

That’s Big.
Think the NY State delegation believes it?
Daaaamn…..suck on that Joey
E. Jean Carroll thinks it belongs to her.
Amazing, if true. I really hope that is true.
I don’t want them exaggerating what they are taking in, lest people start to not donate because they think Trump will be ok.
What will they do with it? That is the question.
does this include Adelson’s 100 million?
I actually have been holding back, but I'm about to let ‘er rip.
🇺🇸🗽🦅🎆
Why not? They were last time.
I think Adelson’s $100 million is a pledge to Trump and therefore not included in this tally, which are actual donations that were made.
Yes. Eric said they got $70M in small donations, and should be over 200 when they add in the big ones. I don’t know what parts of the number are real, but sounds possible.
isnt that grand now!
i read one person, who donated $300,000.00 when Pres Trumpimmediately when he walked out the court room. He said he was a member of the dirty rat club and switched to independent 👍💯
I just hope that Mitch McConnell and Mike Johnson don’t find a way to intercept and misuse it. I worry about WinRed.
I am holding back also. I am fed up with the Republicans, and do not want to send any money to the committee, or to anyone pretending to be from Trump - so, I am hoping to get a good address - I dont even trust that text number!
That is how must faith I have lost because of all the corruption, and the lack of action from the Republicans in Congress - they are all yapping, but they aren’t doing anything.
So, I dont want these fakers to get any support, or worse, money spent to go against the few strong republicans.
I am 80 yrs old, and I am on a small fixed income. The Republican party, which I had supported since the Kennedy-Nixon election is. now dead to me because of their lack of support for Trump.
I was speculating it probably does as I read the article.
It is True.
53 million came from small donors through WinRed
100 million from a woman who’s husband was wealthy.
So there is just 50 unaccounted for. He knows people that is chump change for.
Yuge!
She’ll never see a dime
