(The Center Square) – A defiant former President Donald Trump said voters will decide his guilt or innocence in the November presidential election following conviction on all counts by a New York City jury on Thursday.
Trump faced 34 felony charges related to hush money paid to a former porn actress.
“This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge that was corrupt," Trump said. "They wouldn't give us a venue change. We were at 5% or 6% [support in this district, in this area.”He said the real verdict will be Nov. 5, the date of the election. “Everyone knows what happened here. We didn’t do a thing wrong,” Trump said. “I’m a very innocent man. It’s OK. I’m fighting for our country. I’m fighting for our Constitution.” Trump said the case was brought by his political rival, President Joe Biden.
“We didn’t do a thing wrong. I’m a very innocent man,” Trump said. “Our whole country is being rigged right now. This was done by the Biden administration. I think it is just a disgrace. Our country has gone to hell. We are a nation in serious decline. This is a rigged decision right from day one.”
