Donald Trump says he will appeal the guilty verdict that made him the first US president convicted of a crime while his campaign says it has received a record daily amount of cash from small donors following the conviction.
Donald Trump defiant in wake of guilty verdict. “If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone,” Trump said in an unscripted 33-minute speech. Applauded by supporters, the Republican candidate in the 2024 election took no questions from reporters. Thursday’s guilty verdict catapults the United States into unexplored territory ahead of the November 5 vote, when Trump, 77, will try to win back the White House from Democratic President Joe Biden, 81.
