Read previewFormer President Donald Trump raked in record cash after he became a convicted felon, a sign of how his legal troubles resonate with his most loyal followers. Trump's campaign did not define what small donors mean, but it typically refers to Americans who donate $200 or less. It's not a surprise that the day provided a major boost to Trump's fundraising. Last month, Trump and Republicans outraised President Joe Biden and Democrats. Senate Republicans' campaign arm said it had its biggest fundraising day of the cycle, raising $360,000 online.

The Florida federal judge overseeing the criminal classified documents case against former President Donald Trump has been the target of more than 1,000 complaints in just one week this month raising allegations of her handling of the case, a top appeals court judge revealed in an order. And "many of the complaints against Judge Cannon also question the correctness of her rulings or her delays in issuing rulings in the case," Pryor wrote. "Although many of the complaints allege an improper motive in delaying the case, the allegations are speculative and unsupported by any evidence," Pryor wrote. "The Complaints also do not establish that Judge Cannon was required to recuse herself from the case because she was appointed by then-President Trump." "Some of those complaints have been acted upon, and others will be acted upon in due course," Pryor wrote, without revealing the nature of those actions.

Former President Donald Trump angrily denounced his criminal hush money trial in rambling remarks Friday, a day after a New York jury convicted him on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump called the case "very unfair" as he cycled through many of his previously voiced criticisms of trial judge Juan Merchan, the prosecutors, witnesses, and the charges in Manhattan Supreme Court. "These are bad people," Trump told reporters at Trump Tower, where he launched his first Republican presidential campaign nine years earlier. "It should never be allowed to happen in the future, but this is far beyond me. "This is bigger than Trump, this is bigger than me, this is bigger than my presidency."

President Joe Biden on Friday called former President Donald Trump's reaction to his conviction in New York on criminal hush money charges "reckless" and "dangerous." "It's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged, just because they don't like the verdict," Biden said at the White House, hours after Trump held a press conference at Trump Tower in Manhattan condemning the criminal case. Trump, 77, was convicted Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Court of 34 felony counts related to a scheme to conceal hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Biden, who is set to face Trump in the November election, said his Republican opponent's conviction reaffirmed "the American principle that no one is above the law."

It is hard to imagine that he was helped, in any way, by his constant attacks on judge, jury and the trial itself. voters to Trump, helping him win a third consecutive Republican nomination. And when Trump concealed the nature of the payments, the prosecution could easily make the case — at least to a jury — that he must have known that the payments were legally problematic. Trial outcomes are often dictated by the side that can create the most coherent narrative, and the prosecution’s theory of the case was easy for the jury to grasp.

It was an end like no other for a trial like no other: a former American president found guilty of 34 felonies. The former president and the presumptive Republican nominee was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a scheme to cover up an extramarital tryst with a porn star, Stormy Daniels, in 2006. That encounter — which the former president denied — led to a $130,000 hush-money payment whose concealment gave rise to the 34 counts of falsifying business records that made Mr. Trump a felon. Mr. Trump’s sentencing is scheduled for July 11; he has indicated he will appeal. Here are five takeaways from the last day of Mr. Trump’s momentous trial.
