A crowdfunding campaign on the GoFundMe platform was launched by a supporter of Donald Trump to help her pay nearly $355 million in fines for financial fraud.
A New York court ordered Donald Trump to pay $354.86 million on Friday for fraud committed within his real estate empire, the Trump Organization.
A few hours after the judgment, a woman from Florida, Elena Cardone, launched the crowdfunding campaign. She wrote that she “ardently supports American values.”
“The recent legal battles he faces are not just an attack on him, but an attack on the very ideals of fairness that all Americans deserve,” the GoFundMe page said.
According to the head of the crowdfunding campaign, the objective of the judgment “is to silence a voice that has been at the forefront of defending the strength, prosperity and security of the United States.”
The crowdfunding campaign raised more than $100,000 in one day. The goal is $355 million.
Remember that the Attorney General of New York State, Letitia James, demanded $370 million from Donald Trump and his two adult sons Donald Jr and Eric Trump and their family group. They “overvalued the assets” of the group by “812 million (to) 2.2 billion dollars”, between 2012 and 2021, according to the judge.
