Trump campaign immediately fundraises: ‘I’m a
political prisoner!’
The Trump campaign has repeatedly sought to turn
legal troubles into fundraising surges.

Within
minutes of the guilty verdict being read in the New York court, the Trump
campaign’s official website redirected to a fundraising page declaring he was a
“political prisoner.”
“I was just
convicted in a RIGGED political Witch Hunt trial: I DID NOTHING WRONG! They’ve
raided my home, arrested me, took my mugshot, AND NOW THEY’VE JUST CONVICTED
ME!” the page said.
Trump was
convicted of 34 counts and will be sentenced July 11.
The
fundraising page also included Trump’s mugshot from when he was arraigned in
Georgia last year in a case accusing him of participating in a scheme to
overturn the 2020 election results. The page asked for donations of $20.24 and
up for Trump’s joint fundraising committee.
Since Trump
was first charged in the New York case last year, his legal woes have been a
massive fundraising driver for his campaign. His political operation has sought
to capitalize on the trial for fundraising purposes, regularly sending emails
with subject lines such as, “I stormed out of court!”
