Republicans pounce on FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago to solicit campaign funds

Trump and other candidates' fundraising emails foment outrage and urge donations to stop the Radical Left'

Republican and rightwing groups have swiftly used the FBI raid on Donald Trump's winter home at Mar-a-Lago in Florida to raise money from their supporters by bombarding them with fundraising emails and appeals for donations.

In public the former US president, his allies and nearly all senior Republicans have expressed deep outrage at the raid, which is linked to Trump apparently keeping classified documents at Mar-a-Lago from his time in the White House. But the same figures have also seen the moment as a clear opportunity to urge supporters to dig deep into their pockets.
