Donald Trump’s criminal trial may have ended, but his gag order hasn’t.


In an interview on Fox News tonight, host Jesse Watters asked Trump lawyer Todd Blanche a question about prosecutor Matthew Colangelo.


Blanche responded: “Well, I’m not really allowed to comment on that because we’re still under a gag order.”

GOP fundraising site WinRed goes down

WinRed, the Republican online fundraising platform used by Trump's campaign among others, went down within an hour of the verdict.


Trump's campaign had sought to immediately fundraise off of his conviction, with his campaign website redirecting to a WinRed page soliciting donations.


In a tweet, Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita advised donors encountering a WinRed error message to sign up for Trump’s text messaging list or log back onto the site and try again. Trump's campaign website also began directing donors to Anedot, another fundraising platform used by some Republican campaigns. Trump spokesperson Brian Hughes said traffic to the website from a "record number of supporters" had caused "intermittent delays."



The site appeared to be back online around 6:30 p.m.


Data from WinRed has given insight into how Trump's operation has successfully monetized his legal woes in the past. The platform's reports to the Federal Election Commission showed Trump got more than $4 million online when he had his mugshot taken in Georgia last year, for example. But if would-be donors are deterred from giving money because WinRed is down, it could cut into the fundraising haul the campaign is hoping will come in because of the verdict.


WinRed didn't immediately respond to an inquiry about what went wrong on Thursday.

The small but committed crowd of Trump loyalists who have been gathering outside the courthouse exploded in anger at the news of his conviction.


“Not guilty! Not guilty!” a man in a red cap shouted, while a supporter who calls himself “Pitchfork Pete,” 40, of Brooklyn, chimed in, “Not guilty!” Both sprinkled in profanities as they yelled.


Gary Phaneuf, 68, of Staten Island, carrying a sign that compared Trump to the likes of Nelson Mandela, chanted, “Fight the power, fight the powers that be.”


Phaneuf, who has been arrested after the Jan. 6 riots and charged with trespassing, said, “This is New York City’s Jan. 6 moment of truth.”


Another frequent presence outside the courthouse, a man with a white beard who gave his information only as “Hungry Santa,” predicted Trump would successfully appeal the conviction.

Trump made remarks following the verdict, according to the pool report:


"This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt as a rigged trial, a disgrace. They wouldn't give us a venue change. We were at 5 percent or 6 percent in this district, in this area. This was a rigged, disgraceful trial."

"The real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people. And they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here. You have a Soros-backed DA and the whole thing, we didn't do anything wrong. I'm a very innocent man."


"And it's OK, I'm fighting for our country, I'm fighting for our Constitution. Our whole country is being rigged right now. This was done by the Biden administration in order to vote to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent. And I think it's just a disgrace."


"And we'll keep fighting. We'll fight till the end and we'll win. Because our country's gone to hell. We don't have the same country anymore. We have a divided mess. We're a nation in decline, serious decline."


"Millions and millions of people pouring into our country right now from prisons and from mental institutions, terrorists. And they're taking over our country. We have a country that's in big trouble."


"But this was a rigged decision right from day one with a conflicted judge who should have never been allowed to try this case, never. And we will fight for our Constitution. This is long from over. Thank you very much."

DeSantis responds: ‘The political agenda of some kangaroo court’

Trump’s one-time primary rival is among the wave of Republicans condemning the former president’s conviction.


MIA MCCARTHY


05/30/2024, 5:42PM ET


Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded to former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict, calling the conviction “the political agenda of some kangaroo court.”


“Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to 'get' Donald Trump,” DeSantis said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.


DeSantis ran against Trump during the Republican presidential primary, but endorsed Trump when he dropped out. DeSantis has since tried to make amends with the former president, raising money for his reelection effort.


"It is often said that no one is above the law, but it is also true that no one is below the law,” said DeSantis. “If the defendant were not Donald Trump, this case would never have been brought, the judge would have never issued similar rulings, and the jury would have never returned a guilty verdict."

Within minutes of the guilty verdict being read in the New York court, the Trump campaign’s official website redirected to a fundraising page declaring he was a “political prisoner.”


“I was just convicted in a RIGGED political Witch Hunt trial: I DID NOTHING WRONG! They’ve raided my home, arrested me, took my mugshot, AND NOW THEY’VE JUST CONVICTED ME!” the page said.


The judge did not order Trump taken into custody after the verdicts Thursday, but set sentencing for July 11. The former president later left the courthouse in a Secret Service motorcade.


The fundraising page also included Trump’s mugshot from when he was arraigned in Georgia last year in a case accusing him of participating in a scheme to overturn the 2020 election results. The page asked for donations of $20.24 and up for Trump’s joint fundraising committee.


Since Trump was first charged in the New York case last year, his legal woes have been a massive fundraising driver for his campaign. His political operation has sought to capitalize on the trial for fundraising purposes, regularly sending emails with subject lines such as, “I stormed out of court!”

That likely includes drafting social media posts. By my count, Trump’s account has posted to Truth Social three dozen times so far today.

The 12 New Yorkers who will decide Donald Trump’s fate in the hush money case will continue deliberations for the second day today, after weighing the former president’s guilt for about four and a half hours yesterday without reaching a quick verdict.


The start of deliberations has brought an air of quiet to the trial, as lawyers remain largely silent — and Trump waits in the courthouse — while the jurors who were empaneled more than a month ago discuss the case behind closed doors.


The only peep yesterday was a pair of notes the jury sent to the judge before being excused for the day. First, the panel requested to review testimony from several key moments in the trial, all of which relate to the allegation that Trump directed a conspiracy to undermine the 2016 election with Michael Cohen and former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker. Second, the jurors requested a read-back of the instructions that Justice Juan Merchan delivered before they began deliberating yesterday.

This morning, the judge is expected to respond to both notes. Prosecutors and defense lawyers spent more than two hours yesterday arguing about which excerpts of testimony are relevant to the jurors' request in the first note.


As with all trials, deliberations are secret, and no one outside the jury room should know how the dozen New Yorkers feel right now about Trump’s guilt or innocence. Trial watchers are thus left trying to read tea leaves for any hint of how the jurors are leaning, including the language in their notes and how frequently — or rarely — they write to the judge.
