The
plausible sociopath and pathological liar, Donald Trump, has raised $52.8
million dollars in a fundraising blitz following his conviction last Thursday
in the 'hush money' trial. Trump was
found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in order to conceal a
payment to a porn star called Stormy Daniels. She claims that she had sex with
Trump and accepted $130,000 dollars from his former lawyer, before the 2016
election, in exchange for her silence about the encounter.
The
payment was categorised as legal fees in business records. Ms Daniel's, 45,
whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, told the trial that her sexual encounter
with Trump had left her feeling 'disorientated'.
Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, was later jailed on multiple charges.
The
former U.S. president says the charges against him are trumped up and he's the
victim of a political witch-hunt orchestrated by the Democratic Party and Joe
Biden. Trump says he was convicted in a 'rigged
trial' and he believes that he's a political prisoner. He accused the judge
of being "crooked" and
"highly conflicted."
The
Biden campaign have said that Trump is "unhinged" and "consumed
by his own thirst for revenge and retribution."
Trump,
77, is the first former U.S. president to be criminally convicted. The former
president is set to be sentenced on 11 July. Despite his criminal convictions,
Trump is expected to be formally nominated for president at the Republican
National Convention on 15 July and he hopes to be returned to the White House
on 5 November.
