_ Today a jury found ex-president Donald Trump guilty on 34 felony
counts of falsifying business records in an effort to subvert the 2016
election. Trump called it a rigged trial, by a corrupt judge. He also
called the 2016 and 2020 elections rigged. _

Trump’s Wild Rant After Guilty Verdict Could Haunt Him in
Sentencing. Someone remind him the trial isn’t completely over.
After a Manhattan jury found him guilty
[[link removed]] on
all 34 felony charges in his hush-money trial in New York Thursday,
Donald Trump said that the whole thing was rigged against him.
“This was a disgrace, this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge
who was corrupt. It’s a rigged trial, a disgrace,” Trump said to
reporters as he left the Manhattan courtroom.
“They wouldn’t give us a venue change, we were at 5 percent or 6
percent in this district, in this area. This was a rigged, disgraceful
trial. The real verdict is going to be November 5 by the people, and
they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened
here,” Trump added.

Trump went on to blame District Attorney Alvin Bragg, calling him
Soros-backed, and accused the Biden administration of trying to weaken
him to win the election.
The former president’s sentencing is scheduled to take place by
Judge Juan Merchan on July 11 at 10 a.m., just four days before the
Republican National Convention begins in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His
post-trial remarks could affect his sentencing, as a lack of remorse
is often considered
[[link removed]] by judges in
criminal cases.
Immediately after the trial, Trump also sent a fundraising email to
his followers where he declared himself a political prisoner.

In the event Trump is sentenced to prison time, it’s uncertain how
the presumptive Republican presidential nominee will attempt to
continue his campaign from behind bars—which some of his followers
falsely claim
[[link removed]] has
already been explored by the Secret Service. Trump does have the
option to appeal
[[link removed]] the
guilty verdict, which could mean that he wouldn’t have to start
serving any sentence until an appeals court makes a decision. An
appeal could push the possibility of jail time until after the
election.
Read Trump’s full remarks on his guilty verdict below:
This was a disgrace, this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who
was corrupt. It’s a rigged trial, a disgrace. They wouldn’t give
us a venue change, we were at 5 percent or 6 percent in this district,
in this area. This was a rigged, disgraceful trial. The real verdict
is going to be November 5 by the people, and they know what happened
here and everybody knows what happened here. You have a Soros-backed
DA, and the whole thing, we didn’t do a thing wrong.
I’m a very innocent man, and it’s OK, I’m fighting for our
country, I’m fighting for our Constitution, our whole country is
being rigged right now. This was being done by the Biden
administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political
opponent, and I think it’s just a disgrace and we’ll keep
fighting, we’ll fight till the end and we’ll win because our
country’s gone to hell.
We don’t have the same country anymore. We have a divided mess,
we’re a nation in decline, serious decline, millions and millions of
people pouring into our country right now. From prisons and from
mental institutions, terrorists and they’re taking over our country.
We have a country that’s in big trouble, but this was a rigged
decision right from day one with a conflicted judge who should have
never been allowed to try this case. Never. And we fight for our
Constitution. This is long from over. Thank you very much.
