<p>Donations flooded into Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign fundraising site on Thursday as the Trump campaign said it received nearly $35 million in small donations within the first few hours after a Manhattan jury handed down a guilty verdict in his hush-money trial.</p>
<p>The Trump campaign released a <a href="https://x.com/AlexThomp/status/1796542128006316323" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> Friday morning, announcing a &#8220;record shattering fundraising haul following the sham Biden Trial verdict totaling $34.8 million,&#8221; which was &#8220;nearly double the biggest day ever recorded for the Trump campaign on the WinRed platform.&#8221; Team Trump added that a staggering 30% of Thursday&#8217;s donations came from &#8220;brand new donors to the WinRed platform,&#8221; the GOP fundraising website used by the Trump campaign and other Republicans. Small donations are considered to be between $1 and $200.</p>
<p>WinRed even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-campaign-confirms-fundraising-website-crash-after-verdict-tells-supporters-keep-trying" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crashed</a> on Thursday as people tried to log on to donate, according to the campaign.</p>
<p>&#8220;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 dollar donors,&#8221; Trump campaign senior advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in a statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not only was the amount historic, but 29.7% of yesterday&#8217;s donors were brand new donors to the WinRed platform,&#8221; the statement added. &#8220;President Trump and our campaign are immensely grateful for the outpouring of support from patriots across our country. President Trump is fighting to save our nation and November 5th is the day Americans will deliver the real verdict.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump was found guilty of all 34 counts brought against him by Manhattan Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The former president has slammed the trial as a political &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; and &#8220;election interference.&#8221; Trump was convicted of falsifying business records related to hush-money payments sent to porn actress Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair. The former president has denied that the affair ever took place and pleaded not guilty to the charges.</p>
<p>Trump released another <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112535601905420886" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> Friday morning, maintaining that he &#8220;did nothing wrong.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;My bookkeeper called a &#8216;Legal Expense,&#8217; on the &#8216;tiny&#8217; description line of the Ledger, a &#8216;Legal Expense,&#8217; openly paid to my lawyer, at that time a fully accredited one. I was not involved in that designation, but what else would you have called it? It was, in fact, a LEGAL EXPENSE. That is the so-called &#8216;CRIME,'&#8221; Trump wrote on Truth Social. &#8220;On top of that, I wasn’t allowed by the judge to use, in any form, the standard RELIANCE ON COUNSEL DEFENSE (ADVICE OF COUNSEL!). My lawyer, at the time, did virtually everything on the NDA (NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT), and I assumed that what he did was correct. I did nothing wrong, and frankly, there was nothing done wrong &#8211; NDA’s are standard, commonly used, and LEGAL. MAGA2024! WITCH HUNT! IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ME, IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE!&#8221;</p>
