Trump's Indictment Sparks Fundraising and Fallout on Facebook and Beyond

Donald Trump's campaign has started running Facebook ads to raise money off his indictment by a New York grand jury, leveraging the platform it only regained access to in February after a two-year ban sparked by the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The Facebook ads criticize the indictment and urge his supporters to help him by donating, according to the social media giant's ad archive. The ads underscore the effort Trump has made across email lists and social media platforms to leverage the increased attention the indictment has brought to rake in money, which he can use both for his 2024 bid and legal expenses.
