Trump Campaign Donation Page Temporarily Crashes After Guilty Verdict Announced

Shortly after former President Trump was found guilty on all charges in the hush money trial, his campaign website redirected visitors to a fundraising page, which promptly crashed.  

“Is this the end of America? 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 message on the site read before it temporarily went down. 


The fundraising message urges supporters to send "crooked Joe Biden" a message about his chances of winning a second term. 

"WE MUST MAKE JOE BIDEN REGRET EVER COMING AFTER US!" the page said. 

Some of the 45th president’s biggest fundraising boosts came in response to his legal troubles. For example, the Trump campaign said it brought in $15.4 million in the two weeks after the charges were filed in the hush money case. 

Once the former president's campaign site got back online, it was updated to identify him as a political prisoner. It also features his mugshot from his arraignment in the Georgia election case along with the words "NEVER SURRENDER." 

Trump campaign co-manager Chris LaCivita said supporters who received an error message should try again.
