Former President Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying records related to hush money payments made to an adult film star. Leaving the courtroom, Trump told reporters the trial was "rigged" and "disgraceful." Trump complained about not getting a venue change and launched a series of attacks on the district attorney, the Biden administration, and the judge who oversaw the trial.
Trump says "the real verdict" will be delivered on November 5th, when US voters go to the polls. He vowed to "fight til the end" while maintaining his innocence, saying he "didn't do a thing wrong. I'm a very innocent man."
