Former President Donald Trump's campaign and the Republican Party raised $34.8 million in the six hours after Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts in his 'hush money' trial, the campaign said Friday, a staggering total that represents nearly half of what they raised in the entire month of April.The campaign said that Thursday's sum mostly came from small-dollar donors, including 30% who were new contributors to WinRed, the GOP's fundraising platform.

Trump railed against the trial as 'rigged' and called the charges a 'scam' in remarks at Trump Tower on Friday.The ads direct users to WinRed, a Republican fundraising site which crashed minutes after the verdict. The campaign said the technical failure was caused by the swell of traffic to the site.
