Trump unveils $207 million fundraising haul after election in effort to overturn result

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee have raised $207.5 million since Election Day, according to a statement on Thursday, gathering donations to pay for challenges to Democrat Joe Biden's win in the Nov. 3 poll.

The post-election fundraising haul brought the combined fundraising of Trump committees between Oct. 15 and Nov. 23 to $495 million, the Trump campaign said.

Biden's campaign raised $112 million during the same period, according to a filing with the Federal Elections Commission on Thursday.

Trump has refused to concede defeat and alleged without evidence that Biden's victory came thanks to widespread voter fraud.

Trump's campaign manager, Bill Stepien, said in the statement that the fundraising haul "positions President Trump to continue leading the fight to clean up our corrupt elections process in so many areas around the country."

Trump and his allies have filed numerous lawsuits in battleground states but have failed to present proof of widespread fraud or problems that could have affected the results.

Soon after the election, Trump's campaign began sending solicitations to supporters by email and text making pleas for donations to an "Official Election Defense Fund" to "protect the results and keep fighting even after Election Day."

The fine print made clear most of the money would go to other priorities, including retiring the debts of Trump's campaign.

omg he managed to run a debt there too?! smh
Nice headlines. Most blatant MSM psy op in history. Main tactic is blame the other party for everything rad lefts are doing, total inversion psy/info warfare. Corrupt Biden will never be president. Colossal amount of evidence to the point of being overwhelming, and growing by the minute. just watch the hearings being conducted in AZ, PA, GA, MI. ditch the news, watch the hearings live and you will get the truth.
Wow talk about money goes to the black hole.
Translation of article:  Con Man Donald is STILL scamming his rube followers!
.. and by the way if you watch the hearings why did dominion decide not to show up
So they don't incriminate themselves further. So left rads try to sneak past the radar till inauguration day. But that day will never come. Game over. They lose. God wins.
 "God wins."  -  Biden is god?
Biden is unprecedent cartel corruption crimes
thom. wrong. research dominoin voting system. do your homework. smartmatic now dominoin was used to elect hugo chavez. nice try. you need to be much more critical in your thinking
the same system also got Trump into office. if he wants 2020, he needs to admit he cheated in 2016 first. lol
Jim....yet another impoverished, uneducated Trumper who actually believes all this c/r/a/p that Donny “The L/o/s/e/r” is spewing. SO PROVE IT IN A COURT OF LAW FOR xxxxx’s SAKE!! That’s how we do things in this country, at least north of the Mason-Dixon Line. Or are all of the Republican judges appointed by Donny corrupt as well? Or just Donny and Rudy and Ted and Lindsey and Mitch?
Can’t Trump simply go back to golfing and banging 20 yr old hotties. That doesn’t sound bad vs Washington with its political barnacles. Go to Florida and perv out Trump like you’re used to doing. Get back to your normal life for the past 30+ year & get over the fact that you are a total loser!
Crawl back to you cave Thom. Lawmakers in these hearings are feeling embarrased by how their left collegues are behaving in these hearings. Total disgrace. You sound like you suffer from psychotic personality disorder in your words, much like all these left fanatic radicals.
Look what this fool has done now —impoverished his base even more in yet another failed cause. Next thing you know he’ll be telling them to inject themselves with Lysol.......Whatya mean he’s already done that? Nobody’s uneducated enough to fall for it twice.....Whatya mean then you don’t know Trumpers?
*rest of
The majority well educated Americans voted for the Biden-Harris ticket while the minority poor educated folks voted for the orange jellyfish...Losers!
you sound like you need help, or some kind of mental health care.
All donations under $8,000 go directly to paying off Trump’s debts. Look it up. You’re bailing out a “billionaire.” Nothing more.
Now we know why Trump is so motivated to keep pushing the false narrative of election fraud, even though their cases are so weak that they get rejected by every court. Trump wants to keep fanning the flames so that he can trick his base into paying off his debts for him.
Keep letting them force feed you your ideas and talking points. Don't forget to gargle bleach and send money to your "billionaire" overlord.
Please educate us on how the DOJ has not put together clear evidence of mass corruption coming from Biden and his son, to which said Biden is saying he will separate waters during his presidency. Which is like me saying i will not conduct myself in any harmful way to society, right after having commited a string of serious crimes, and expect everything will be ok. Lunacy to the extreme.
