Trump collects $53 million in first 24 hours after guilty verdict for 'hush money'.

-

Former President Donald Trump's campaign boasted on Friday that it had received $52.8 million in donations in the 24 hours since a Manhattan jury found him guilty in his hush money trial.

The staggering sum was contributed to the 77-year-old presumptive Republican candidate's campaign through his online digital fundraising platform, and amounts to more than $2 million in donations per hour since the verdict was read .

“Biden and his Democratic allies have turned our legal system into a political tool, and Americans in every corner of the country have had enough,” Trump campaign advisers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita said in a statement

“This momentum is just beginning and together, as President Trump perfectly stated, Americans will deliver the real verdict on November 5,” they added.

The campaign noted that more than a third of the donors were new Trump donors.

Trump's team previously announced that the guilty verdict had generated a “record” $34.8 million in small-dollar donations between 6pm and 11:59pm on Thursday.

The former president was convicted of 34 crimes of falsifying business records related to payments to her then-lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen for “legal services” that jurors determined would actually prevent porn star Stormy Daniels from speaking out about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006 .

Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11, a week before he accepts the Republican nomination for president.
