The street was packed with many showing up after the verdict in the Trump case on Thursday that saw him being found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. DA Alvin Bragg as well as Matthew Colangelo have been summoned after the conviction to testify before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
During the press conference, while Trump was still under a gag order from the trial, he spoke to reporters and supporter there. “This is a case where if they can do this to me they can do this to anyone," Trump began. "These are bad people. These are in many cases, I believe, sick people."
He later remarked, "We're dealing with a corrupt government. We have a corrupt country. Our elections are corrupt. Our borders are open, our borders are going to be closed very soon. November 5 is going to be the most important day in the history of our country."
