		</div><p>Former US president Donald Trump has raised more than 34 million dollars (€32 million) for his 2024 White House run since the start of the year – buoyed by a big bump in donations since the announcement of criminal charges against him, his campaign said.</p>
<p>His total raised after the March 30 indictment approached what he took in over the previous three months, figures showed.</p>
<p>Mr Trump’s latest fundraising report due to be filed on Saturday with the Federal Election Commission will show he raised more than 18.8 million dollars (£15 million) between his main campaign account and a joint fundraising account over the the first three months of the year, the campaign said.</p>
<p>Of that total for the period of January 1 to March 31, four million dollars (£3.2 million) came in after Mr Trump was indicted on March 30 by a grand jury in Manhattan on charges related to a hush money case stemming from the 2016 election.</p>
<p>The fundraising numbers were first reported by Politico.</p>
<p>Mr Trump began raising money off the news of his indictment, and his campaign said he took in 15.4 million dollars (£12.3 million) since the announcement of charges and Saturday’s filing deadline for the fundraising report.</p>
<p>The former US leader, who is also facing several other criminal investigations, has tried to use his legal troubles to galvanise supporters, claiming all the cases are politically motivated.</p>
<p>He has portrayed the New York charges as “election interference” but also suggested they may help him win support.</p>
<p>Mr Trump has dominated the Republican field in the early stages of the 2024 presidential race. But many rich party donors have been looking to send their support elsewhere this time.</p>
<p>Until his indictment, his campaign fundraising had lagged behind the massive amounts he used to raise in days or in hours when he was president.</p>
<p>Only a few candidates have officially entered the race: Mr Trump’s UN ambassador Nikki Haley, a former South Carolina governor; former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson, who announced his intentions days after Mr Trump’s indictment was filed; and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.</p>
<p>More candidates, including Florida governor Ron DeSantis, are expected to enter the race by the time the next fundraising reports are due in mid-July.</p>
