Donations are flowing into former President Donald Trump’s election campaign in the aftermath of a jury in New York City finding him guilty on 34 felony counts.
On Friday, the Trump campaign said in a statement it nearly doubled its best single-day fundraising haul, bringing in $34.8 million.
“Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrats with their election interference political witch hunt have awakened the MAGA movement like never before,” the statement added.
Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, senior advisers to the Trump campaign, said, “From just minutes after the sham trial verdict was announced, our digital fundraising system was overwhelmed with support, and despite temporary delays online because of the amount of traffic, President Trump raised $34.8 million dollars from small donors.”
“Not only was the amount historic, but 29.7% of yesterday’s donor’s were brand new donors to the WinRed platform,” they continued. “President Trump and our campaign are immensely grateful from this outpouring of support from patriots across our country.”
Finally, they said, “President Trump is fighting to save our nation and November 5th is the day Americans will deliver the real verdict.”
The number cited by the Trump campaign is nearly half of the roughly $76 million it raised in the whole month of April.
On Thursday, Trumpwas found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in an attempt to cover up a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
