dominating his time, resources and messaging, making the centerpiece of his candidacy an appeal to stay out of prison. the post continues, what is likely to come is a campaign like the country has never seen before. a candidate juggling multiple criminal indictments while slashing the department of justice and his opponents, shuttling between early primary states for rallies and courtrooms for hearings, and spending his supporters money on both millions of dollars worth of campaign ads and burgeoning legal bills. to illustrate the impact, more than half of the money trump raised last quarter went to a pac footing his legal bills. however, and unsurprisingly, trump is not relying on any of his own personal fortune to cover that. according to the federal election commission of more than $35 million raised between march and june, the campaign received just under $18 million. the rest went to the save
he never has been. now he doesn t talk so much about being a republican. there are tuopportunities there. it requires you taking donald trump on directly. ashley, despite the campaign launch, which was it was not great. let s be honest. it was not good. desantis can say, numbers are what talk. it s not the number of minutes it was messed up. double the amount of money trump raised, after his indictment. $2 million more than what biden raised when he announced. does money talk? does this prove desantis is the contender to take this from trump? money talks in politics. i think comparing desantis numbers to a pre-covid, pre-george employed, pre-january
rape and it is not guilty, but liable. and it is not good when you are running for president. so beyond reputational and for the former president, and by the way, this is presuming an outcome here that we don t know yet, and we will learn in a couple of minutes time, and if that is what the jury has decided here. well, it is about money. this would be a civil verdict that leads to the payment of money. now in her closing argument, the lawyer for e. jean carroll did not ask about money, and principle, and in the end, the jury is going to have to decide how much money trump has to pay e. jean carroll and not just for the sexual abuse but defamation. so if they find him liable for that, then they have to award money. and so remember, he said, she is
most americans don t see $1.6 million in their lives but it is not significant for the trump organization. might be embarrassing as a company but not going to cease the organization as a business entity. so right. i guess the next question is does it change anything about how it operates or how much money trump can make from it and any chance he or the children who are executives at the company will pay any financial or criminal price? nothing major here. the new york state attorney general has a $215 million civil lawsuit against the family. there s a lower standard there for getting evidence in. nothing today is going to lead to anything major or significant for the trump organization or the individuals in the trump family. this is the analysis that
