The SNP leader gave 'a wee handy reminder' to the public that the party is 'not in any way full up with donations'.
John Swinney has pleaded with the public to give money to the SNP after it revealed no reportable donations in the first three months of this year.
The First Minister also encouraged people to donate for the general election campaign "because we've got four expensive weeks ahead of us." Swinney was asked how he was funding the campaign and if the police investigation was putting people off from donating at the campaign event in Springburn."We have more party members than all the other parties in Scotland combined."If you've got money coming in from lots of people, small amount, it adds up into quite a big amount."I obviously would encourage people to continue to give because we've got four expensive weeks ahead of us.
