    Former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign got a boost after news of his historic indictment rocked the nation.

    A grand jury indicted Trump Thursday over his alleged hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election cycle. The former president faces over 30 charges and will be arraigned in Manhattan on Tuesday. He is expected to turn himself over to authorities who will fingerprint him and take his mugshot, but for the Trump political machine, the wheels kept turning, even after he became the first ex-president to be charged with a crime.

    In a press release on Friday, Trump's team announced that the former president - who held his first 2024 campaign rally last weekend - received over $4 million in contributions in the 24 hours following his indictment.

    "This incredible surge of grassroots contributions confirms that the American people see the indictment of President Trump as a disgraceful weaponization of our justice system by a Soros-funded prosecutor," the press release said.

    The Trump campaign added that around $1 million of the $4 million in contributions came from first-time donors. After he was indicted, Trump sent an email to his supporters, referring to Bragg's investigation as a "witch hunt" carried out by the "corrupt ruling class," The Hill reported.

    "Ever since I ran for president as a complete political outsider, the corrupt ruling class has tried to shut down our America First movement," the email said. "The Deep State will use anything at their disposal to shut down the one political movement that puts you first."

    Conservatives rushed to defend Trump following his indictment, accusing Bragg and the Democratic Party of abusing prosecutorial power for political gain. Even some of Trump's Republican rivals and potential 2024 opponents spoke out against the indictment, such as Trump's former running mate Mike Pence, 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley, and Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL).

    House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), and House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) sent a letter to the Manhattan district attorney last week, asking to interview Bragg and requesting to see documents and communications regarding his investigation of Trump.

    "In light of the serious consequences of your actions, we expect that you will testify about what plainly appears to be a politically motivated prosecutorial decision," the letter said.

    A majority of Americans (62%) also see Bragg's case against Trump as "mainly motivated by politics," according to a Quinnipiac poll released on Wednesday.

Was it a judicious ploy for Joe Biden's FBI to execute the unprecedented raid of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate?
  Yes; the Cheneys despise this former Republican president, and for good reason ... so they say.
  No; never has a former president been treated with this level of vindictive abuse by those temporarily in power.
  Who cares? It's Trump.

Considering what many of the most revered legal experts of this age consider a political persecution by the infamous and ignoble New York District Attorney Alvan Bragg: Should the historic, unprecedented indictment of 45th President Donald Trump be considered as a benefit, or a liability to the sustainability of OUR Constitutional Republic?
  Liability, our nation is in peril, as we are losing our "Rule of Law" integrity.
  Benefit, losing our "Rule of Law" integrity is secondary to destroying Donald Trump.
  I mostly worry about losing my Tik Tok.
