How much money has the Trump campaign raised after the guilty verdict in the ‘Hush Monet’ trial?

Donald Trump, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, has made history by becoming the first former president to be convicted of a felony. His presidential campaign seized on the historic ruling to fundraise, arguing that the candidate is under attack by the Democrats and their weaponized justice system.

How much has been raised since the verdict?

The message has proved useful, with the campaign raking in donations totaling more than $34.8 million in the first six hours after the verdict was announced.

Another account, RNC Research, managed by Team Trump, claimed that 30 percent of those donors were new but did not clarify if that included those who had donated to him in previous election cycles.

The Team Trump X account reported that the donation site had crashed because of increased traffic, a small indication of how many people were moved to donate upon hearing the verdict.

Donald Trump’s time in the courtroom is not over

The ‘hush money’ trial, which landed him with the felony conviction, is just one of various legal battles the former president is involved in. Another case focused on the mishandling of classified documents was set to begin on 20 May but has been postponed by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon. Before the start date was pushed back, this case seemed the next most likely to take place. However, with no information on exactly how long the proceedings will be delayed, it is unclear whether Donald Trump will be back in a courtroom before the election in November.
