Trump raises $2 million after arraignment

Former President Donald Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, raised $2 million from a "candlelight dinner" fundraiser with top donors at his Bedminster, New Jersey, resort Tuesday night, hours after his arraignment on federal criminal charges in a Miami courtroom. Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 counts tied to his alleged retention and mishandling of national security secrets, lying to investigators, and obstruction. His campaign said Wednesday that Trump had raised $7 million since he was indicted by a Miami grand jury last week, including the haul from the Bedminster fundraiser. Trump briefly addressed the crowd at the dinner, repeating his claim the case is a partisan witch hunt.
