Hillary Clinton raised nearly $70 million in June for her campaign and affiliated Democratic committees, more than doubling the May fundraising total and scoring her biggest month yet of the campaign season.

Donald Trump has not yet released fundraising numbers for June, but he faced a stream of bad headlines last month when he reported raising only $3.1 million in May, just over 10% of Clinton's haul for the month. Trump began June with about $1.3 million in the bank, but he has been on a fundraising blitz since then.

Clinton's campaign said in a press release Friday that the presumptive Democratic nominee had raised $40.5 million for her campaign and about $28 million for the Democratic National Committee and state Democratic parties. Clinton now has about $44 million cash on hand.

"Our first month of general election fundraising proved to be the best of the campaign," said Hillary for America Campaign Manager Robby Mook.
