Tonight, former President Trump is blasting his sentencing date in
July just days before the Republican National Convention.
Well, that's part of the game.
And saying he was initially surprised by last week's guilty
verdict.
What was weird because we go in and the judge
it,
it looked like it was a hung jury for a
while.
The new comments out today as the former president has
seen a flood of campaign donations following his conviction on
34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money
payments to Stormy Daniels. He now says he plans to
appeal posting the Supreme Court must decide.
He was also asked about revenge.
Revenge will be success, and I mean that.
But it's awfully hard when you see what they've done
and the potential for prison time.
I'm OK with it. He could get probation or up
to four years behind bars.
So that's unlikely. I'm not sure the public would stand
for it.
I think it would be tough for the public to
take,
you know, at a certain point,
there's a breaking point. The Biden campaign is seizing on
that,
accusing Mr. Trump of teeing up political violence and now
escalating its attacks,
branding the former president. A diminished man,
white collar crook and convicted felon.
And we're going to remind people who Donald Trump is.
But most Republicans are rallying around him.
A new poll shows just one in 10 say they're
less likely to vote for him after his conviction.
And gave a big question is how lasting the impact
of this verdict will be on the race.
Yes, Lester. The Trump campaign is arguing it is having
a big short term impact.
The campaign says it and the RNC raised $141 million
in May.
A large chunk of that after the conviction.
Overall, the Biden campaign has been ahead in fundraising.
