Former United States President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee (RNC) raised $141m in May, campaign officials have said, a haul apparently boosted by his conviction in his hush money trial.
Trump’s campaign said in a press release on Monday that $53m – more than a third of the total – was contributed in the 24 hours after a New York jury found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records, making him the first current or former president in US history to be convicted of a crime.
