Donald Trump Vows to Appeal Conviction in Hush Money Case

Donald Trump has announced that he will appeal his guilty verdict, becoming the first US president convicted of a crime. He claims the trial was an attempt to hinder his potential comeback bid for the White House in November's elections. In an unscripted speech, Trump stated that if they can do this to him, they can do it to anyone, and accused opponents of being "sick" and "fascists". He also criticized Judge Juan Merchan, calling him a "tyrant" who "literally crucified" witnesses. Trump's remarks were laced with personal attacks and conspiracy theories, as he claimed the trial was a "scam" and that Merchan is actually a "devil in disguise".
