WASHINGTON, DC: Former President Donald Trump made an appeal for campaign contributions on Monday, April 22, suggesting that he could face jail time later in the week, according to Mediaite.

In response to facing 34 felony charges for falsifying business records to conceal payments aimed at hiding extramarital affairs before the 2016 election, the presumed GOP presidential nominee has pleaded not guilty.

Judge Juan Merchan imposed a gag order in the case to prevent Trump from disparaging witnesses, court personnel, and their families. Legal experts assert that Trump has repeatedly violated the order, as mentioned previously.

Moreover, prosecutors are seeking a contempt verdict against the former president. The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, April 23, as announced by the Trump campaign via email.

The email's subject line read, "ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE IN 24 HOURS" whereas the body read, "Friend, in 24 hours, the hearing on my GAG ORDER will begin. I COULD BE THROWN IN JAIL AT THAT VERY MOMENT!"

Notably, the campaign sent out a similar email three days before jury selection, warning that it would be "72 hours until all hell breaks loose!" Since then, a jury of 12 members and 6 alternates has been appointed without any disruption.

The email further read, "This is what the Hate-America Deep State has always dreamed of. I won’t be able to campaign. I will be muzzled and silent. And Democrats will have free rein to destroy our country. We need a HUGE outpouring of support before the day is over, because tomorrow, all hell could break loose for our MAGA Movement."

"Right now, at this very moment, I’m calling on EVERY Patriot reading this message to chip in and say, I STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP!" the email added.

It continued, "Crooked Joe Biden thinks that if I’m locked away, then supporters like YOU will abandon me. BUT I KNOW THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN! Only your actions at this moment will show them just how big of a mistake they’ll make if they lock me away."

The email concluded by stating, "With you by my side, we will peacefully win back the White House at the ballot box and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
