Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump did not say how much fundraising will go to former President Trump's legal fees.
The former president quickly fundraised off the jury's verdict last week, raising about $35 million in the first day after he was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Lara Trump said Sunday that the RNC raised $70 million in the first 48 hours after the verdict was read. "Well, everybody has an option whenever they donate to our joint fundraising agreement to opt out of. It is a very small percentage of the money that we take in. And so I would have to say we'll wait and see what is necessary in the future," Lara Trump said on CNN's "State of the Union."

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said President Biden should campaign off of former President Trump's guilty verdict in the New York hush money case.
"I think for the president, there's a time and a place for each argument. I think on the day of the conviction that day thereafter, I can understand the president staying above the fray and demonstrating his respect and expressing his respect for the jury system.
