Donald Trump's likely indictment in New York has triggered a funding avalanche, with donors giving $1.5 million in the three days after the former president announced he was expecting to be arrested.

It marks a significant surge in fundraising following a slow start after Trump announced his 2024 presidential run in November.

The Trump campaign confirmed the numbers to DailyMail.com and said the money continued to roll in, fueled by grassroots anger at treatment of Trump.

He called for protests on Saturday when that he expected to be arrested on Tuesday in connection with a New York investigation into hush money paid to adult movie star Stormy Daniels.

However, Tuesday came and went without an arrest. And on Wednesday, the grand jury hearing evidence did not assemble, delaying the prospect of an indictment.

'We are once again witnessing the complete and utter collapse of America’s justice system,' said a Monday email.

'But very soon, President Trump will be back in the White House to restore true justice in America.'

Some news reports have suggested that Trump would relish a 'perp walk' and being handcuffed in New York, pictures that could be used in fresh fundraising blasts to outraged supporters.

But a source familiar with his thinking said that was not the case.

'There's no world in which Donald Trump wants to be arrested,' said the source. 'That is different from keeping the political nature of this front and center.'

The financial numbers bear that out.
