Trump slams trial as 'rigged'
Donald Trump yesterday slammed the decision to declare him guilty on all counts, calling himself a "very innocent man."
"This was a disgrace," he said after becoming the first former US president to be convicted of a felony.
"This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who is corrupt. It's a rigged trial, a disgrace.
"They wouldn't give us a venue change. We were at 5% or 6% in this district, in this area.
"This was a rigged, disgraceful trial, but the real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people, and they know what happened here; everybody knows what happened here," he added, referring to the presidential election.
"We didn't do a thing wrong. 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 and hurt a political opponent."
