Ex-Trump Aide Details How Staffers Would Keep Former President Awake
Financial Times: In another troubling sign for Republican fundraising efforts, Trump
has 270,000 fewer unique donors than he did at the same stage of his
2020 White House run. His campaign and affiliated political action
committees got money from 900,000 donors from July 2023 to the end of
the first quarter of 2024, down from 1.17 million four years earlier.” “This shrinking donor base leaves questions about how Trump will
sustain the costs of his legal battles on top of what is expected to be
the most expensive presidential race in US history. The bottom line is
he needs to step it up now when it comes to fundraising, especially
while he’s stuck in court and off the campaign trail.
Guardian - On Wednesday, prosecutors submitted paperwork alerting Trump’s lawyers about what exactly they’d want to ask him if he does decide to take the witness stand. That includes allegations of sexual abuse, his earlier civil trial loss on falsification of business records, his civil trial defamation loss to E Jean Carroll and a “frivolous, bad-faith lawsuit” he’d filed against Hillary Clinton that was later dismissed. Merchan will determine what, if anything, from this list prosecutors would be allowed to ask Trump if he did take the stand. Trump has pledged to do so, but it seems unwise and unlikely that his lawyers would want him to.
