| Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign took in $14.4 million in the first three months of 2023, part of an $18.8 million haul across his two campaign committees this quarter — a modest sum that captures only the beginning of a fund-raising bonanza set off by his indictment in late March. | Donald J.

| In the weeks since then, Mr. Trump has raised more than $15 million, his campaign said Saturday ahead of its quarterly filing with the Federal Election Commission — including at least $4 million in the 24 hours after The Times reported his indictment on March 30. | In the weeks since then, Mr. Trump has raised more than $15 million, his campaign said Saturday ahead of its quarterly filing with the Federal Election Commission — including at least $4 million in the 24 hours after The Times reported his indictment on March 30. |
| A more thorough accounting of Mr. Trump’s post-indictment fund-raising will not be available for months, when the next quarterly filing is due. Still, the latest numbers show that the case against Mr. Trump gave a jolt of energy to his efforts to raise campaign funds, which had been sluggish out of the gate, drawing more than 300,000 individual donations, a vast majority of which were under $200, his campaign said. | A more thorough accounting of Mr. Trump’s post-indictment fund-raising will not be available for months, when the next quarterly filing is due.

| Mr. Trump had a head start in fund-raising against his current and potential rivals for the Republican nomination, but perhaps more significant is the way his base has rallied around the former president after his indictment, which many of his supporters see as politically motivated. | Mr. Trump had a head start in fund-raising against his current and potential rivals for the Republican nomination, but perhaps more significant is the way his base has rallied around the former president after his indictment, which many of his supporters see as politically motivated. |
| Steve Cheung, a spokesman for the Trump campaign, did not respond to a request for comment. | |
| Mr. Trump has raised most of his money through his Save America Joint Fundraising Committee — $14 million of the campaign’s recorded haul in the first quarter was transferred from the committee. The campaign said the total raised by the two committees was $18.8 million. | |
| Mr. Trump’s campaign reported $13.9 million cash on hand as of March 31. | |
| The Trump campaign has used his joint fund-raising committee not merely as an umbrella group to disburse funds, but also to pay some campaign expenses, according to that committee’s most recent filings, in January. The committee has also transferred funds to a separate committee, called Save America, that has supported Mr. Trump’s political activities. |
