Trump raises record $52.8 million in campaign donations after guilty verdict against him

 
Former President Donald Trump managed to raise a total of $52.8 million for his run at the White House in the 24 hours after the guilty verdict against him was announced.

His campaign said this Friday in a statement, a third of the donors “are new”, a situation that shows that “more and more Americans are seeing beyond the electoral interference (of President Joe) Biden and are joining President Trump in the movement” to save America.

To achieve this, in the last few hours the president's campaign has sent more than a dozen text messages to people subscribed to his information channels and as many emails, asking for funds and crying out against what he considers an injustice resulting from an political hunt against him.

According to local media, the official donation page of the Republican Party, WinRed, was blocked for about an hour after learning of Thursday's verdict, and many users indicated on social networks that they had sent money to the Trump campaign after learning the news.

Trump offered a conference this Friday in New York, at Trump Tower, in which he did not accept a single question from the press, and in this he boasted that the verdict seems to have given wings to his candidacy, due to the record number of donations coming from followers who have contributed amounts of between $21 and $50, he said.

At his appearance he devoted much of his words to discussing the legality of the trial that ended Thursday with a guilty verdict on 34 counts of irregular payment to a porn actress and falsifying business records to hide it.
