Donald Trump is wasting no time in getting back on the campaign trail now that the verdict is in and his historic criminal trial in New York City is over.

The former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee headlined a campaign fundraiser just a couple of hours after being convicted. On Saturday he'll attend a UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) match in Newark, New Jersey, Fox News confirmed. And on Sunday he'll sit for a "Fox and Friends" interview.

"We’ll be fighting hard," Trump told Fox News' Brooke Singman in an interview soon after he was found guilty of all 34 felony counts in his case, the first in which a former or current president stood trial.

Trump emphasized that he was excited to get back on the campaign trail. 

2024 SHOWDOWN: TRUMP CASHES IN ON THE CONVICTION IN HIS CRIMINAL TRIAL

On Friday, as he addressed reporters from the atrium of his Trump Tower in New York City, where he launched his first White House bid nine years ago, the former president vowed that "we're going to fight.".

For six weeks, Trump had been confined to the courtroom in Lower Manhattan, which prevented him from campaigning across the country other than on weekends and Wednesdays, when there was no trial.

But Trump's campaign touted that even during the duration of the trial, the candidate was able to generate "billions of dollars" in media coverage as well as host rallies and fundraisers.

HOW TRUMP GUILTY VERDICTS MAY IMPACT THE 2024 REMATCH WITH BIDEN

The former president's tenure in court also didn't seem to put a dent in the slight edge he enjoys in the polls over President Biden in the key battleground states that will likely decide the outcome of their rematch.

And the former president's top pollsters put out a memo on the eve of the verdict arguing that a conviction would not have any electoral consequences.

"We are already back to the mission," the Trump campaign told Fox News Digital on Thursday evening. "President Trump won’t let this sham stop the movement of this campaign to save the nation."

Longtime Republican strategist David Carney, a veteran of multiple GOP presidential campaigns who is now steering a pro-Trump super PAC, told Fox News that "the show trial is over and Trump is unleashed to campaign at will again. With the miscarriage of justice out in the open, he will have the wind to his back."

Trump enjoyed an initial burst of fundraising courtesy of his guilty verdicts.

The former president's campaign announced on Friday morning that it had hauled in $34.8 million in fundraising from 6pm ET to midnight on Thursday, immediately after the verdict went viral.

On Friday evening, the campaign updated their fundraising total - nearly $53 million over 24 hours.

WHAT TRUMP TOLD FOX NEWS DIGITAL FOLLOWING THE VERDICT

The campaign highlighted in a release that they raked in "a record shattering small dollar fundraising haul and said it was "nearly double the biggest day ever recorded for the Trump campaign on the WinRed platform." They emphasized that the guilty verdicts "have awakened the MAGA movement like never before."

Trump will continue his fundraising blitz with a swing at the end of next week in California.

The former president heads to the blue bastion of San Francisco on June 6 for a fundraising dinner hosted by tech investors David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya, two of the heaviest hitters in Silicon Valley and co-hosts of the hot "All-In" podcast.

Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, a Trump ally and potential 2024 running mate who spent time a few years back in San Francisco working for hedge funds in the tech sector, was instrumental in putting the top dollar fundraising together.

Trump heads south to Beverly Hills for a June 7 fundraiser and a June 8 finance event in Newport Beach in Orange County.

The trip doesn't mean the Trump campaign thinks overwhelmingly blue California may be in play. 

Instead, Trump's swing and two fundraisers in the Bay Area on June 5 headlined by Vice President Kamala Harris are the latest proof that the Golden State remains a crucial ATM for campaign cash.

The University of Virginia will pay $9 million in a settlement reached with the families of the victims of a 2022 campus shooting that killed three university football players and wounded two other students, a lawyer representing some of the victims and their families announced Friday.

The school will pay $2 million each to the families of D'Sean Perry, Devin Chandler and Lavel Davis Jr., the maximum allowed under Virginia law, according to attorney Kimberly Wald, who represents some of the families.

A total of $3 million will also be paid to the two students who were wounded — Mike Hollins, a fourth member of the football team, and Marlee Morgan.

Some of the families, however, are not satisfied and are demanding the immediate release of an independent investigation into the shooting that was completed last year. The probe's focus included efforts by the university to assess the potential threat of the suspect, a student who was eventually charged with murder, and recommendations from what was discovered in the investigation.

MURDER CHARGES UPGRADED IN UVA FOOTBALL PLAYER SHOOTING CASE

The alleged shooter was identified by police as Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., who was a UVA student and former member of the school's football team.

Wald, who represents Perry's estate, said the university should have removed the alleged shooter from campus before the attack happened because he displayed multiple red flags through erratic and unstable behavior.

"This settlement today is only one small step for these families — there is much to be done," Wald said. "If there is one lesson, even one lesson that we can learn from that report, we need to know it now ... We need to protect lives now."

University officials delayed the report's release last year over concerns that it could impact the suspect's upcoming trial.

"We are committed to providing it as soon as we can be sure that doing so will not interfere in any way with the criminal proceeding," UVA President Jim Ryan said at the time.

The settlement was negotiated outside of court and did not follow the filing of a lawsuit, according to Wald. But every settlement in Virginia must be approved by a judge, and the settlement was accepted by a judge in Albemarle County Circuit Court on Friday afternoon.

The agreements were also approved by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, the university said in a statement.

UVA Rector Robert Hardie and President Ryan said in the statement Friday that the three deceased students' lives were "tragically cut short" and these victims "have been ever present in our minds."

"We will forever remember the impact that Devin, Lavel, and D’Sean had on our community, and we are grateful for the moments they spent in our presence uplifting UVA through their time in the classroom and on the football field," the statement said.

The shooting happened when the suspect returned by charter bus to campus from a field trip to see a play in Washington, according to authorities.

The incident began near a parking garage and set off panic and a 12-hour lockdown of the campus until the suspect was taken into custody. Jones Jr. has a trial for murder and other charges scheduled for January.

Days after the shooting, university officials sought an outside review to investigate campus safety policies and procedures, the university's response to the shooting and its previous efforts to assess the potential threat of the suspect. School officials acknowledged Jones Jr. was previously on the radar of the university's threat-assessment team.

The university initially said the report, which was completed in October, would be released in November before it changed its stance due to concerns about affecting the suspect's trial.

Perry's mother said Friday that the report should be released now if it can help prevent similar shootings.

"As a mom, I want to know what happened. It is my right to know what happened," Happy Perry told reporters. "At this point, it is an issue of public safety and national security that we get that report."

Hollins' mother said she felt mixed emotions Friday after the settlement. She also explained about how devastated and changed all the victims' families are.

"You put on your smile, and throughout the day you may be able to move forward," Brenda Hollins said. "But then it just creeps up on you. And if you do not address it at that moment, then it consumes you."
