Righteous defiance blazed from former President Donald Trump on Thursday as he left a Manhattan courtroom.
Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, according to the New York Post.
However, the conviction does not stop him from running for president, as noted by Fox News.
Outside of court, Trump said the trial was conducted by “a conflicted judge who is corrupt.”
“This was a rigged trial, a disgrace,” he said in a video posted to X.
Trump said a fair trial in Manhattan was never possible.
“They wouldn’t give us a venue change. We were at 5 percent or 6 percent in this district and this area,” he said.
Trump said voters will not be fooled.
JUST IN: Donald Trump: A rigged trial, a disgrace, they wouldn’t give us a venue change, the real verdict is gonna be November 5th by the people, and they know what happened here, everyone knows what happened here. We didn’t do a thing wrong, I’m a very innocent man. pic.twitter.com/9N3yBml1Jz

Was this an unfair conviction?
“This was a rigged, disgraceful trial, and the real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people. And they know what happened here, and everybody knows what happened here,” he continued.
“We didn’t do a thing wrong. I’m a very innocent man,” Trump asserted.
“It’s OK. I’m fighting for our country. I’m fighting for our Constitution. Our whole country is being rigged right now.”
Trump doubled down on his claim that the trial was all politics.
“This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent,” he said.
“And I think it’s just a disgrace, and we’ll keep fighting. We’ll fight ‘til the end, and we’ll win because our country has gone to hell.”
Trump said his fate reflects the decline of the nation.
“We don’t have the same country anymore. We have a divided mess. We’re a nation in decline, serious decline, millions and millions of people pouring into our country right now from prisons and from mental institutions, terrorists, and they’re taking over our country,” Trump said.
“We have a country that’s in big trouble, but this was a rigged decision right from day one, with a conflicted judge who should have never been allowed to try this case. Never. And we will fight for our Constitution.”
Signifying that appeals will be lodged, Trump added, “This is long from over.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson called the verdict “a shameful day in American history,” according to CNN.
Johnson also accused the justice system of being weaponized and described the trial as “a purely political exercise, not a legal one.”
“The American people see this as lawfare, and they know it is wrong — and dangerous,” Johnson said in a statement. “President Trump will rightfully appeal this absurd verdict — and he WILL WIN!”
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
