Former President Donald Trump raked in more than $35 million in the second quarter as his army of small-dollar donors rallied to his side even as his legal woes mounted.

The money was raised through the Trump Save America Joint Fundraising Committee, which splits donations between his campaign and his leadership political action committee, according to a person familiar with its finances. The number, first reported by Politico, far exceeded the $18.8 million raised in the previous quarter.
