Ex-President Donald Trump’s campaign confirmed that its fundraising site WinRed crashed after Trump was found guilty on Thursday by a New York jury.
In a post on X, Trump’s campaign wrote, “If you are one of the millions of American Patriots wanting to donate to Donald Trump’s campaign and you get an error message from [WINRED] …don’t give up!”
“Log back on and try again,” it added, encouraging supporters to keep trying. “Or Text TRUMP to 88022 Help us send weak JoeBiden packing !!!”
The crash came after jurors returned a guilty verdict on all 34 counts against Trump in the hush-money trial, marking the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime.
Not only did Trump’s donations page crash after the guilty verdict, but so did DonaldJTrump.com, which forwards to his WinRed page.
