“Donald Trump has long used the legal cases against him to drive money to his campaign. It now looks like that may be the most effective tool he has going,” Politico reports.

“The new data, based on campaign finance filings from WinRed, the payment processor used by Trump and most other Republicans, comes as Trump faces perhaps his biggest legal challenge yet: a criminal trial in New York City on charges that he schemed to falsify records around payments to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.”
