Former President Donald Trump claimed he would be indicted today, but that can't be confirmed. It will happen, but we're not sure it will happen today. We are certain that he's a grifter, though. And the one-termer is fundraising off of his potential indictment.

Trump sent an email blast asking his fire-breathing lint-licking supporters to sign a petition protesting his possible indictment.

Business Insider reports:

But signing this petition leads people straight to a page where they're asked to give $3,300 or other suggested amounts of cash to his 2024 campaign.

"They're trying to intimidate YOU and cancel out YOUR vote!" Trump's team wrote in a Monday email to supporters seen by Insider.

"Which is why the Trump for President 2024 campaign is compiling millions and millions of petition signatures from Americans like you CONDEMNING these threats of a possible arrest," the email said. It also called on "74 million patriots" to answer the call and sign the petition.

Can you imagine sending money to defend an alleged billionaire plagued with scandals?

Upon clicking the petition link in the message, recipients are taken to a page asking for donations to "help DEFEND our America First movement during these dark times."

The message says supporters can donate any amount, but suggests sums like $500, $1,000, and $3,300, among others.

Trump supporters, we urge you to donate to your hero. Send him all of your money to prove that you are loyal and that you are Ultra MAGA — every single penny.
