Australia claims 'substantial' progress on reef protection

Former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign has gotten off to a rocky start, and new fundraising documents obtained by NBC News underline his struggles to raise cash as he attempts a third White House bid.

According to the report, Trump's 2024 campaign raised just $9.5 million over the final six weeks of 2022, which was actually less money than he raised over the six weeks prior to announcing his candidacy.

Far-right and domestic extremist groups raked in $6.2 million from crowdfunding sites last year, according to a new study from the Anti-Defamation League reported by USA TODAY on Tuesday — and from one crowdfunding site in particular.

The study tracked the fundraising of 324 extremist groups. Among them were far-right militias who helped storm the Capitol in the January 6 attack like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers; white supremacist groups like the surviving chapters of the Ku Klux Klan; and the Radical Black Hebrew Israelites, an anti-Semitic and anti-white movement that holds Black Africans as the true Israelites of the Bible and modern Jews to be imposters.

Former Trump official Alyssa Farah Griffin on Tuesday ridiculed her one-time boss for the lackluster start to his 2024 run for the presidency.

Appearing on CNN, Griffin said former President Donald Trump's campaign so far appears to be centered all around the personal wrongs he feels he's suffered rather than any attempt to solve problems in America.
