Small donors have responded to Donald Trump's legal problems by showering money on his presidential campaign, helping him roughly match the fundraising pace of Democratic President Joe Biden who is seeking re-election, according to disclosures released on Sunday. More than $2 million surged into Trump's coffers within a day of the Aug. 24 release of his mugshot after he was booked at a jail on Georgia state charges stemming from his attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat, according to a disclosure the campaign submitted to the Federal Election Commission. It was the biggest two-day sum the campaign has reported taking in this year, a sign that Trump's legal problems, unprecedented for a former U.S. president, have become a major fundraising asset.
