"I'm A Political Prisoner": Trump In Fundraising Appeal Amid Hush Money Trial

A New York jury convicted Trump of 34 counts of false accounting in his hush money case in a development that could have major repercussions in his bid to unseat Biden.

Donald Trump's campaign website began redirecting visitors to a fundraising page Thursday declaring he was a "political prisoner" moments after he was convicted in his New York hush money trial.

"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 read.

The page crashed within minutes of launching, however, as a surge of Trump supporters overwhelmed WinRed, the official Republican Party donation platform.
