Hillary Clinton reacts to Donald Trump verdict by shilling 'She Was Right' merch after delivering response to shocking guilty decision during speech in DC

Hillary Clinton appeared triumphant as she delivered a not-so-subtle response to her former political rival Donald Trump being found guilty in a criminal trial.

'Anything going on today?' she said with a wry smile as she took to the podium at the Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards in Washington DC, shortly after the jury reached its verdict in Trump's hush money trial.

Her audience immediately responded with applause and laughter as they caught her apparent reference to the trial in Manhattan, with Clinton assuring them: 'Well, I have to tell you, there's nowhere I'd rather be than right here.'

Dubbed 'Crooked Hillary' by Trump throughout his 2016 election campaign, the former Democrat candidate is likely feeling vindicated after Trump became the first ex-President to be convicted of a crime in US history.

After the jury delivered its verdict, a smug Clinton took to Instagram to poke fun at her former opponent - sharing a picture of some merch emblazoned with the slogan 'turns out she was right about everything'.

The white mug depicts a cartoon Clinton sipping some tea, with the former Secretary of State explaining in the caption: 'We recently had some new merch made based on a phrase I hear a lot. The design happened to be finalized today.' 

Clinton advertised the ceramic cup, which retails for $22.00, as 'a pretty great mug to sip tea from'. 

She promoted it to followers saying that proceeds from its sale would go towards 'defending democracy' through her non-profit organization Onward Together.

The former First Lady founded the political action group after losing out to GOP candidate Trump in the 2016 election.

During campaign rallies, Trump called Clinton 'guilty as hell' and his supporters chanted 'lock her up' after she was embroiled in a political scandal about using a private email server for classified emails.

After a years-long FBI investigation, it was determined that her server did not contain any information or emails that were clearly marked classified, though many were later designated as such retrospectively.

Trump, who is now running for the presidency a third time, has also been pushing his merch, with fundraising efforts going into overdrive after his guilty verdict was delivered yesterday.

After the verdict came through, aides reported an immediate rush of contributions so intense that WinRed, the platform the campaign uses for fundraising, crashed.

The campaign began selling black 'Make America Great Again' caps to reflect a 'dark day in history.'

Speaking outside the courthouse after the verdict was delivered, Trump declared: 'I'm a very innocent man and it's okay, I'm fighting for our country. I'm fighting for our constitution.

'Our whole country is being rigged right now. This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent.

'I think it's just a disgrace. We'll keep fighting, we'll fight to the end and we'll win.

'There's only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: At the ballot box. Donate to our campaign today,' Biden said on social media after the verdict.

While Democrats are celebrating the guilty verdict, major Republican donors have rallied behind Trump, pledging millions of dollars to support the first convicted felon running for US president. 

Many conservative donors already viewed the New York case, which Trump accused of falsifying business records to conceal a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, as political persecution.

Supporters echoed Trump's claim that the trial was designed to weaken him ahead of the November 5 election against President Biden - claims prosecutors have dismissed as untrue.
