      Pochi minuti dopo la lettura del verdetto il sito web ufficiale della campagna di Trump ha reindirizzato a una pagina di raccolta fondi in cui si dichiara che il tycoon è un "prigioniero politico". "Sono stato appena condannato in un processo politico truccato da caccia alle streghe: non ho fatto niente di sbagliato! Hanno fatto irruzione in casa mia, mi hanno arrestato, mi hanno fatto la foto segnaletica, e ora mi hanno appena condannato", si legge nella pagina.
      A few minutes after the verdict was read, the Trump campaign's official website redirected to a fundraising page which declares that the tycoon is a "political prisoner". "I have jut been 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 reads.
