Donald Trump sets new records of support as former US President, raising almost $53 million within a day after a jury convicted him in a financial fraud case involving payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
The Trump campaign surpasses previous Republican fundraising achievements, with 30% of donors contributing online for the first time.
The statement revealed that over a third of these donations were from new supporters, indicating a growing disapproval of the jury’s decision.
The New York jury on Thursday found Trump guilty on all 34 charges of falsifying business records to cover up a payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Trump criticized the verdict, calling it disgraceful and claiming it was part of a political ploy by the Biden administration to interfere with the 2024 presidential election, orchestrated through a biased judicial system and a partisan judge.
