A GoFundMe fundraiser has been initiated to assist in covering the legal expenses of ex-President Donald Trump. Within the initial day, it has garnered more than $200,000 in donations, and as of this update, the total is now over $415,000.
The objective of the fundraiser is set at $355 million, which corresponds to the penalties imposed on Trump in a recent civil fraud case in New York.
Elena Cardone, wife of investor and entrepreneur Grant Cardone from Florida, is the individual who launched this campaign.
The description of the fundraiser explains, “My name is Elena Cardone and I am a wife of Grant Cardone, mother and an ardent supporter of American values and an advocate for justice, I stand unwaveringly with President Donald Trump in the face of what I see as unprecedented and unfair treatment by certain judicial elements in New York.”
“The recent legal battles he faces are not just an attack on him, but an attack on the very ideals of fairness and due process that every American deserves,” the fundraiser’s description continues. “It’s a moment that calls into question the balance of justice and the application of law, disproportionately aimed at silencing a voice that has been at the forefront of advocating for American strength, prosperity, and security.”
“In standing with Trump, we’re upholding the cause of every business owner and entrepreneur who believes in the fight against a system that increasingly seeks to penalize dissent and curb our freedoms.”
Cardone wrote, “This is more than a legal fund; it’s a call to all business owners and entrepreneurs to rally in defense of all businesses and for man who has never hesitated to stand in defense of us.”
“Now, more than ever, it’s time for business owners and entrepreneurs to unite, to show our collective strength and resolve. Let’s stand with Trump to ensure that justice prevails and that we continue to fight for a country that respects freedom, honors courage, and rewards the unwavering spirit of its people.”
As of Sunday morning, more than 4,700 individuals had contributed, resulting in a total of $205,857 raised.
Trump has affirmed his intention to challenge the decision, labeling it a “politically motivated witch hunt” according to his legal team.
