The campaign of former President Donald Trump says it received a massive windfall of donations immediately following his 34 guilty verdicts in the hush money-election interference trial Thursday afternoon.
The Trump campaign announced via a statement “a record shattering small dollar fundraising haul following the sham Biden Trial verdict totaling $34.8 million —nearly double the biggest day ever recorded for the Trump campaign on the WinRed platform.”
The statement obtained by Mediaite reads:
Today, the Trump campaign announced a record shattering small dollar fundraising haul following the sham Biden Trial verdict totaling $34.8 million —nearly double the biggest day ever recorded for the Trump campaign on the WinRed platform. Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrats with their election interference political witch hunt have awakened the MAGA movement like never before.
“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. Not only was the amount historic, but 29.7% of yesterday’s donor’s were brand new donors to the WinRed platform. President Trump and our campaign are immensely grateful from this 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.” – Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, Trump Campaign Senior Advisors
Just minutes after the verdict was read in court, Trump posted a link to the donation platform WinRed, which immediately crashed the website ostensibly due to overwhelming traffic.
