Former US President Donald Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with the verdict of the New York hush money trial, labelling it as ‘very unfair’ and ‘rigged’. Trump vowed to appeal his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. He addressed the media at Trump Tower in Manhattan, condemning the trial and promising to challenge it on various grounds once he is sentenced on July 11.
Trump vehemently contested the legitimacy of the verdict, attributing it to political motivations. He emphasized that the hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels was a nondisclosure agreement and not illegal. Despite his conviction, Trump maintained his innocence and criticized the trial as a ‘disgrace’.
In addition to his intentions to appeal the conviction, Trump launched a series of verbal attacks, targeting President Joe Biden and the Justice Department. He alleged that they had influenced his prosecution. Trump also commented on issues related to immigration, characterizing undocumented immigrants as threats and deriding the handling of the situation by the current administration.
The ex-president’s legal team is strategizing for post-trial actions. However, with other felony indictments pending, Trump faces further legal challenges. The trial’s conclusion coincides with a period before the upcoming November election, potentially influencing the political landscape. As Trump navigates through the aftermath of the trial, his actions and statements will likely continue to draw attention and spark debate.
