A New York jury on Thursday found Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records after a weeks-long trial.

Former President Donald Trump on Friday announced a sizeable fundraising haul in the wake of his guilty verdict in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's hush money case.

A New York jury on Thursday found Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records after a weeks-long trial. The verdict appears to have energized his supporters, however, as the campaign's donation page crashed, evidently due to the volume of traffic.

The campaign on Friday initially announced it had brought in $34.8 million in small dollar donations, marking a near-doubling of its single largest day total on WinRed. Later, it updated the total to $52.8 million raised in the 24 hours following the verdict.

“In the 24 hours since Crooked Joe Biden and his New York henchmen got their sham trial verdict, the Trump Campaign has raised $52.8 million through the online digital fundraising platform,” the campaign said in a statement reported by the Daily Wire. “THAT’S MORE THAN $2 MILLION PER HOUR!”

The team further announced that over one third of donations came from new donors.

"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," said Trump Campaign Senior Advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles when first announcing the total.

"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. President Trump is fighting to save our nation and November 5th is the day Americans..."

NICE!! I was going to donate but honestly just afraid I hear the horror stories of how Conservatives who have bank accounts are targeted, Id donate right now but am afraid once “WinRed” appears on the credit card I’ll get a knock at the door

Don’t feel bad as I’ve had a few fleeting thoughts like that as well.

Bottom line, if things are truly that bad we’re all done anyway so may as well take the plunge.

I don't believe there is a way. I haven't donated for a year or two because of it.

I just went ahead and did it from DonaldJTrump.com/WinRed because I don't know any other way of getting it to him.

I wish there were a way to donate 100% to him and none to the GOP, but haven't found one. I haven't donated to him for a couple of years because of it.

I just went ahead and did it from DonaldJTrump.com/WinRed because I don't know any other way of getting it to him.

I am going to speculate that at some point, the Dems will start to push the Gov of NY to Pardon Trump. The stated public reason will be something like “For the good of the nation” or “To restore trust in the process” or some other milk toast reason.

The real reason will be that they realize just how badly they miscalculated and to try and shut off the donations.

Trump runs RNC now, his daughter was put in charge and they even laid off a bunch of folks. Not sure if that will make a difference but it is Trump’s organization now.

I just hope with all my heart that all those donations translate in some form or another into votes and NO harm comes to him as I am afraid those bastards will pull out all stops to eliminate him.

I wouldn't worry about it. Trump essentially controls the RNC.
