Trump breaks fundraising record after guilty verdict

Donald Trump’s re-election campaign has reportedly raised over $34 million since the former US president was found guilty on 34 felony counts in New York, in a trial he denounced as a politically motivated witch hunt. A Manhattan jury agreed with prosecutors that Trump’s reimbursements to his lawyer for an alleged “hush money” payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels amounted to fraudulent bookkeeping and 2016 election interference. “I was just convicted in a rigged political Witch Hunt trial: İ did nothing wrong!” a fundraising email sent by Trump’s campaign after the verdict was announced. “But with your support at this moment in history, we will win back the White House and make America great again!”
