President Trump is set to address his supporters at 11 a.m. Eastern following a Manhattan jury's unprecedented 34-count guilty verdict. The former president, along with his legal team, remains steadfast in their stance and is focusing on the next legal steps in response to the verdict.
Trump expressed concerns about the impact of the verdict on the country, stating, 'We have to think about how something like this could have happened to our country.' He emphasized the significance of November 5th, calling it 'the most important day in the history of our country.'
House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed confidence in Trump's ability to secure victory, citing increased turnout and a widening enthusiasm gap between Trump and Biden campaigns.
The sentencing for Trump is scheduled for July 11th, just days before the Republican National Convention. He faces up to four years in prison per charge but plans to appeal the verdict. Trump's legal team intends to challenge the trial's fairness due to pretrial publicity and the judge's alleged bias, including his ties to President Biden's campaign and his daughter's affiliation with a Democratic consulting firm.
Expect Trump to address these issues during his upcoming speech at Trump Tower, where he will outline the grounds for his appeal and the strategies his legal team will employ moving forward.
