i m i very innocent man and we ll fight for our constitution. dana: defiant in defeat. former president trump vowing to fight his conviction for falsifying business records. that begins at 11:00 a.m. eastern when he holds a news conference on trump tower. bill is off today, good morning, brett. bret: good morning, i m bret baier. this is america s newsroom. dana, yesterday in the afternoon we thought judge merchan was going to dismiss the jury, wrap up for the day. suddenly it all came down that they had the verdict and what we have seen over the past few hours, the reaction to that and then now this news conference is going to be something as we go forward. dana: we were getting ready for the five and all of a sudden it changed and it felt you could feel a shift change really in the country and in the election. bret: really is. we don t know the entire fallout yet. unprecedented conviction. further complicating the former president s schedule. sentencing is set
dealing with the election could somehow provide a writ for the justices to get involved. if you talk to legal experts it seems a narrow path, but is there a path? yeah, bret, there is certainly a path. the supreme court has stepped in in other criminal cases primarily when the death penalty is at issue and has stayed, you know, the proceedings. but it is not unprecedented. you have bush versus gore and ibm. several cases the supreme court has indicated they will put a freeze and hold on it to see if there are constitutional violations that are significant. dana: brett tollman, thank you. fox news alert because right now we re waiting to hear from former president trump. he is scheduled to speak at a news conference this morning at trump tower just a little 59 minutes from now. that is just one day after he was found guilty on all 34 felony counts in his new york criminal trial. welcome to a new hour of america s newsroom, i m dana perino. bill hemmer is off today. hi
