BY JOHN BOWDEN - 07/21/18 03:54 PM EDT
The former Clinton campaign staffer who helped organize five days of consecutive protests in front of the White House this week says he has raised more than $30,000 overnight to continue the protests.
Adam Parkhomenko, a policy adviser to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said Saturday that more than 1,300 donations totaling $31,144 came in overnight to support the protests, which have hired local bands to perform in front of the White House for nearly a week.

The demonstrations, dubbed Occupy Lafayette Park, have occurred every night since President Trumps controversial summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday.
Footage captured from the protests showed protesters standing along the White House fence holding signs that read "Treason" as local Washington, D.C., musicians performed.
Despite the protests, Trump is not actually at the White House this weekend. He left for his New Jersey golf club on Friday as his administration weathered a storm of criticism for statements Trump made during his joint press conference with the Russian leader.
