Trump Donation Page Crashes After Guilty Verdict on 34 Counts

Former President Donald Trump's donation and campaign websites crashed on May 30, 2024, following a guilty verdict on all 34 counts in his New York trial. The crash was attributed to an overwhelming influx of traffic as supporters attempted to make donations. The donation page, hosted on WinRed, the GOP's official fundraising platform, displayed an 'under maintenance' message. Trump's campaign has experienced similar spikes in fundraising during major legal events, and the recent verdict appears to have significantly boosted donation activity. FoxNews reported that both Trump's donation site and WinRed were down due to the heavy traffic.
