Trump campaign launches fundraiser for Pennsylvania rally shooting victims

The Trump campaign launched a fundraiser for the victims caught in the crossfire of an attempted assassination on the ex-president’s life.

The online call to action raised just short of $85,000 within the first hour of its launch.

President Donald Trump has authorized this account as a place for donations to the supporters and families wounded or killed in today’s brutal and horrific assassination attempt,” Meredith ORourke, the National Finance Director and Senior Advisor of the Trump campaign wrote.

“All donations will be directed to these proud Americans as they grieve and recover. May God bless and unite our nation.”

At least one person was killed in the shooting and another was seriously wounded. It is not clear how many victims sustained injuries.
