Trump 2020 Campaign Team Using Mueller Testimony to Raise $2 Million

President Donald Trump and his campaign team were busily responding while former Special Counsel Robert Mueller appeared before the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday.

Trump sent out a series of tweets prior to and during the hearing, including doubling down on his claims that the report found “NO COLLUSION, NO OBSTRUCTION!”

NO COLLUSION, NO OBSTRUCTION!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 24, 2019

But that’s not all. Trump’s campaign team took the opportunity to fundraise off of the hearing.

Trump supporters received a fundraising email during the hearing on Wednesday, which encouraged them to “send a HUGE message to all of the Trump Haters by raising $2,000,000 in the NEXT 24 HOURS.”

Like Trump’s tweet, the email similarly claims that there was “no collusion, no obstruction, [and] complete and total exoneration.”

“Nothing about the report has changed, so WHY are they still pursuing this Nasty Witch Hunt?” the email reportedly reads. “Robert Mueller is testifying … right now, and the Democrats and Corrupt Media are going to pull out all the stops to try and TRICK the American People into believing their LIES.”

A similar message was sent to supporters via text, which read, “There was NO COLLUSION! Let’s tell the Dems to end this WITCH HUNT by raising $2,000,000 in 24 HOURS!”

Trump campaign now sending texts to supporters during Mueller testimony trying to raise $2M in 24 hours:
