Former President Donald Trump’s political operation raised more than $76 million in April, campaign officials told donors on Saturday.

Trump advisers revealed the number, up from $65.6 million in March, during a presentation at a private Trump campaign and Republican National Committee-hosted donor retreat, according to a person familiar with the discussion and granted anonymity to speak freely. The campaign did not provide further details of the fundraising haul, which will be released in filings later this month.

Trump is facing a significant cash deficit in the presidential race. Through the end of April, President Joe Biden had more than twice as much money in the bank as Trump, according to campaign disclosures. Still, Trump’s fundraising has increased since he became the presumptive Republican nominee in early March, and advisers have argued that he will raise enough funds to compete.

The fundraising figures were announced during a roughly one-hour presentation by Trump campaign leaders Susie Wiles, Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio. Biden has yet to announce his April numbers.

1. LIES?

$76M MINUS lawyers fees equals??

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Yeah

I wonder what the "net" amount REALLY is, after "legal fees" are removed.

[Think. Again.]

2. They're rightwingers, so they lie...

...they probably raised 10.4M in April, bringing the March claim up to 76.

Journalists should probably look at their wording, which might have been something like "Our monthly fundraising is great! In march our total was 65.6, but we beat that in April and April's number is 76!

It's because they're rightwingers, so they are lying.

4. $25 million in usage fees to TFG property

Still frauding while on trial for fraud.

I'd check the donor names...

V. Putinne
V. Oarbonnn
Mike Been Sawing

Or similar to names that should not be donating.

[AltairIV]

5. Pathetic actually.

So I assume this includes the $50 million dollar one time donations that he was bragging about when Clinton and Obama had raised $25 million for Biden. If so that means he barely raised $25 million, a pretty pathetic number and that's before his legal fees are gifted from that total. Lose.

6. Let's not forget who is minding the store.

[NowsTheTime]

7. Best to just ignore "what's his name" and anything associated with him.

[Midnight Writer]

8. I'll wait to see the official campaign filings before I buy into this one.

Everything TeamTrump tells us is a lie, according to my experience.

15. In this queue

I never believe anything traitors say.

[JohnnyRingo]

9. And just where the hell is that coming from?

It's hard to believe MAGAs get emails and kick in $50 or $100 every month, and PACs have to know the risk that he won't be elected is great, so where would that much come from in just one month?
Especially considering knowledge that he's skimming it off the top.

[PortTack]

10. I will wait on the numbers from the FEC...those are not due until the end of June. So...he can lie and ppl won't remember

[MOMFUDSKI]

11. The bulk of which went directly into the

attorneys’ pockets. Bah

[flying_wahini]

12. He is probably considering that every dime that goes to GOP is just for HIM. Only him.

But still scary that the Super PACS are just warming up.

[Owens]

13. Do they have to file paperwork showing this?

Don't they have to file the paperwork and name of donors to FEC?

[NanaCat]

16. Yes... Yes they must file with the FEC

Why so many of us will wait for the reports in June for the reality check.

[Traurigkeit]

14. - It says.

Trump Org/Campaign, does it know and understand the word: truth (lowercase T) ?

17. Fuel for the Fuehrer's Lawyers

Keep it coming, GOP!
