Trump press conference LIVE — Former president to address public today after bombshell guilty verdict in hush money case

  • Trump to appeal guilty verdict

    Donald Trump's lawyer has confirmed the former President will appeal yesterday's decision.

    Speaking to CNN, Todd Blanche said that "as soon as we can appeal, we will."

    Blanche added multiple times that he believes Trump was treated unfairly during the trial.

  • Can Trump still run for President?

    Yes, Donald Trump can still run as the Republican nominee this November.

    While there is no precedent for a convicted felon being named head of state, there are also no rules against it.

    "There's nothing prohibiting a convicted felon from being president of the United States," former prosecutor Neama Rahmani told The U.S. Sun.

    Rahmani added that Trump's presidency wouldn't be affected even if he's jailed for his crimes.

  • 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."
