Trump to attend UFC fight days after ‘hush money’ guilty verdict as he shifts focus to campaign
SUMMARY
Donald Trump plans to attend a UFC fight in Newark, NJ, on Saturday, marking his first public appearance since his guilty verdict in the Manhattan "hush money" trial. The event, UFC 302, will feature lightweight champion Islam Makhachev against Dustin "The Diamond" Poirier. Trump, a longtime friend of UFC President Dana White, is a fight enthusiast. Convicted of 34 criminal charges related to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, Trump vows to appeal and continue his fundraising efforts, which surged, raising nearly $53 million in 24 hours. He will also visit California next week for more fundraising events.
