jaw-dropping numbers from a new poll. what they want trump to do now that he has been convicted. good afternoon from washington dc. we began with no reaction from donald trump to the prospect of being jailed. his lawyer also on the talk shows today outlining the defense appealed strategy and saying that trump may not face sentencing at all july 11. we are going to challenge this case on appeal. i do not think he is going to end up being subject to any symptoms whatsoever, and we look forward to getting this case into the next court and taken this again all the way to the u.s. supreme court if necessary. trump is now the first former american president to be convicted on criminal charges. questioned directly about a potential prison term in his first postverdict tv appearance. the judge could decide to say house arrest or even jail. i am okay with it. i saw one of my lawyers on television saying you do not want to do that. i said you do not beg for anything. it is the
trump of the moral failing of all of the republicans that have surrounded him with this baseless theory that undermines our belief in the system of the criminal justice system and democracy itself. i also think it is stupid politically. what they are doing is stupid political things this week, and here is why. the voters that they need to be persuaded to vote for trump are not the voters persuaded around personal grievance about donald trump s criminality. they do respond to grievance populism and economics that we are being left behind. on that it is still actually effective particularly in a climate where a lot of voters have economic anxiety regardless of where the facts are, but this focus on the justice system and coming after donald trump without any reason, so they will come after you. as somebody hopes republicans

attorney said about that. i really do not think a 20 and $30 donation lies to the level of a serious conflict. obviously others who are speaking for the president strongly disagree with that. i think he handled a very difficult trial with a neutral hand and gave the president every benefit of the doubt that he was entitled to. what is your assessment of the judge s approach? i think i agree with the said earlier about the measured approach. even the temperamental throughout the trial. talking about the judge handing certain victories to the defense and some to the prosecution. whether it is objections or anything else. during today s morning news interviews one of trump s attorneys had criticized the so- called rulings that had limited or essentially made it clear to trump that if he were to take
he has been in the courtroom for the entire trial. thank you both for being here. i want to start with you first. how do you interpret this outline from trump s legal team that they are sang for an appeal in notion that he may not be sentenced at all? there is a provision in new york that lets you file motions postverdict like this to see if there are any areas that get the judge s attention. this was a pretty clean trial. i expect to see sentencing july 11 followed by a more traditional appeal. you say it has been a clean case. what basis does this case get to the supreme court? to get to the united states supreme court there would have to be an error issue of constitutional dimensions, and although his lawyers have suggested in some political
