at New York state Judge Juan Merchan, prosecutors and the verdict in the hush money trial at a news conference at Trump Tower this morning, adding that the witnesses were "literally crucified.". Merchan yesterday scheduled Trump's sentencing for July 11, at which point he will officially become a convicted felon under state law.Trump finished his remarks saying that Election Day, Nov. 5, is"the most important day in the history of our country.
Trump said a friend told him not to dispute that because it"makes you look like the toughest cookie we've ever seen."Kyla Guilfoil Trump said that"the people of our country know it's a hoax. ... They get it, you know, they're really smart." Trump said he would have testified during the trial and wanted to testify, but he said:"The theory is you never testify because as soon as you testify ... they'll get you on something that you said slightly wrong, and then they sue you for perjury, but I didn't care about that. I wanted to."
"People have to believe that justice is fair, that there’s equal justice under law. They don’t see that right now," he said."And I think that the justices on the court, I know many of them personally, I think they’re deeply concerned about that, as we are. So I think they’ll set this straight but it’s going to take a while."
He continued,"Think of it: I'm the leading candidate. I'm leading Biden by a lot, and I'm leading the Republicans to the point where that's over. So I'm the leading person for president and I'm under a gag order." Protesters are demonstrating outside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan ahead of Trump's press conference there. They're holding signs that say, for example,"lock him up" and"guilty" in all caps.echoed the points they were making as the trial was ongoing: They felt that Judge Juan Merchan was conflicted, the jury was made up of liberals and the case amounted to election interference to boost Biden.
On the far-right website 8kun, an anonymous user posted the purported personal contact information and addresses for journalists, the presiding judge and some purported jurors. Advance Democracy said it has not determined whether the posted information is accurate. “They’re going to have to kill me to stop me,” she said, painting herself as the victim of judicial warfare.
Referring to Michael Cohen's efforts to secure the non-disclosure agreement with porn actor Stormy Daniels, Trump added, “My lawyer, at the time, did virtually everything on the NDA , and I assumed that what he did was correct.”Patrick Smith
