According to the former American president’s campaign team, nearly $35 million was raised in a few hours after the announcement of his historic guilty verdict. Donald Trump, for his part, mentions a higher amount.
$34.8 million. The day after Donald Trump’s historic guilty verdict in the Stormy Daniels affair, the former president’s campaign team announced that it had raised this sum of $34.8 million in just a few hours, a “record” amount.
“This is almost double the most important day ever recorded for the Trump campaign,” said the former Republican president’s team the day after his historic conviction.
This Friday, May 31, the ex-president spoke at a press conference organized at Trump Tower in New York. He put forward a different figure: that of “39 million dollars in donations”.
“I would have won this election on my own, not because the others were stupid, but they should never have taken up this matter,” he said.
Trump will appeal
“We are going to appeal this scam,” announced the Republican from the lobby of his Trump Tower, protesting against an “unfair” decision and a rigged trial.
In a disjointed speech lasting more than 30 minutes, the billionaire also accused outgoing President Joe Biden and his “gang” of being “sick” and “fascists” responsible for his legal setbacks.
“The real verdict will take place on November 5, by the American people,” Donald Trump had already assured Thursday, leaving the courtroom. “I am a political prisoner,” he also said in a call for donations published in the wake of the court decision.
