Speaking at a Turning Point Action town hall event in Arizona on June 6, Trump stated "I just went through a rigged trial in New York with a highly conflicted and I mean highly conflicted, judge where there was no crime."
He added that his complainants could have brought the case seven years ago. However, "It's only when you run for office they bring cases," he continued. Critics and Trump supporters have been crying "foul" since the decision was released, implying that what happened to the 45th president was a "political prosecution."
Meanwhile, the guilty verdict did not seem to affect Trump's popularity much, let alone cause a decline of his supporters. He, in fact, noted that he is "beating Biden, by the way, by a lot," adding that following the conviction, "more campaign funds were given to this campaign than any campaign they think in history, almost $400 million."
In just one fundraising event, his campaign raised $12 million. In an X post of Attorney and Republican National Committee Committeewoman for California Harmeet Dhillon, she announced the good news and reported the incredible support they received for Trump.
"Not an empty seat in the gorgeous home of @DavidSacks and Jacqueline. Thrilled to see the tech leaders stepping up!" referring to the hosts of the event in San Francisco, who is an investor in internet technology firms and a general partner of Craft Ventures, together with his wife. The said fundraiser sold out with the tickets per couple costing $500,000 per piece. Single tickets were sold for $300,000 each.

Trump, who has also made an appearance at a fundraiser Saturday at a bayfront Newport Beach mansion, pledged to the attendees that upon his return to the White House, he will pursue an "America First" policy that avoids unnecessary foreign entanglements and shut down the border. About 3,000 Trump supporters greeted the former president, according to the Newport Beach Police Department. They chanted, "Donald! Donald!" as the motorcade drove to the fundraiser on gated Harbor Island shortly before 1 p.m.
"He was amazing as always," said dentist Harleen Grewal of Santa Clarita. "He talked about the state of the country, what we need to bring us back to the American dream, the American people, how we've got to think about our country first and close the open border. For me, as a legal immigrant, I feel the same way. Everyone can come in by the right process, the legal process."
He talked about all the wars that are going on. During his presidency, there were no wars and we had the greatest economy in the history of the United States.
"We as Americans, need that back. If we don't get it this time, it is the end of America. It really is," Grewal added. (Related: Trump receives $300K campaign donation from venture capital executive following guilty verdict.)
Trump campaign: Hunter's guilty verdict is a distraction from real crimes of the Biden family
President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, was found guilty on all three counts on June 11 by a 12-member jury in Wilmington, Delaware of lying about his addiction to buying a gun illegally, making him the first son of a sitting U.S. president to be convicted. The president soon issued a statement claiming that he respects the judicial process while his son considers an appeal.
Meanwhile, Karoline Leavitt, Trump campaign's national press secretary initially released a statement, which was eventually updated to take out "well wishes" to Hunter.
The original statement read: "This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden crime family, which has raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia and Ukraine. Crooked Joe Biden's reign over the Biden Family Criminal Empire is all coming to an end on November 5th, and never again will a Biden sell government access for personal profit. As for Hunter, we wish him well in his recovery and legal affairs."
