In the first 10 days since the Mar-a-Lago search, Trump and his allies sent out more than 120 emails explicitly fundraising off the investigation. There were at least dozens more referring more generally to things like a “witch hunt” or the left being out to get Trump. Some emails asked for at least $2; others asked for $45, a nod to his role as the 45th president. Trump is using the criminal investigation as an opportunity to motivate his supporters to stock war chests that already have more than $100 million. He will be able to use the money in a variety of ways, including opposing his political enemies, and preserving and extending his already-firm grip on the Republican Party.
