Newly convicted felon Donald Trump wasted no time trying to profit off the guilty verdict on Thursday. Just moments after a jury found the former president guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in his hush money trial, Trump posted a fundraising memo to Truth Social: “I’M A POLITICAL PRISONER! I was just convicted in a RIGGED political Witch Hunt trial: I DID NOTHING WRONG!” he said in the post, adding that “YOUR SUPPORT IS THE ONLY THING STANDING BETWEEN US AND TOTAL TYRANNY!” The former president has reportedly been on a fundraising tear in recent months, having requested major donations from 11 of his “donors, advisers and others close to the former president,” according to a Washington Post report. And there's more to come: Venture capitalists David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya are reportedly hosting a Trump fundraiser in San Fransisco on June 6, CNBC reported.
