democrat could get, if they would say that a democrat could get a fair trial, bear. the answer is yes, because we will get fair trials all over the country. and the idea that merely because there's a political split that people dead things, criminal justice system falls apart is just nonsense. >> well, that's a good note to end on. we could talk about this all day, but our time is up. thanks to our panel. thanks to you for being here. i'm kasie hunt. don't go anywhere. cnn news central it's right now this morning we will hear from donald hold trump, the convicted felon, holds a news conference. >> we might also hear from president biden for the first time since the verdict this new chapter in american history a new, video this morning of the moment, ukrainian drones attack and destroy russian boats, the strike coming as president biden gives you crane, the okay to use us weapons to kill carry out strikes on russian soil. >> and a police officer ambushed and killed by the very person who was trying to help. i'm k-fold when with john berman, sara sidner it's out today. this is cnn news central this morning for the first time, donald trump is waking up as a convicted felon this morning for the first time the country is waking up with a former president who is a convicted felon. >> in this morning for the first time, a major political party is waking up with a presumptive nominee. that is a convicted felon asked for what that means. we are all now living it moment by moment. this morning we get fresh reaction from donald trump. he holds a news conference. we also have new reaction from the biden campaign is they assess how to handle this new reality including reaction perhaps apps from president biden himself, donald trump basis sentencing on july 11th. that is just days before the republican convention. he could get up to four years in prison, though he could face no jail time. hi meant of course, trump will appeal this verdict let's get right to the courthouse. cena's brynn gingras standing by you were there the whole trial you're now there after the trial, give us the latest yeah. >> all all right. john, you're ready for all the headlines that we've got from the papers that my wonderful producer, aaron cooper collected this morning. look at daily news guilty. the same goes for the new york times guilty, convicted on all 34 counts, and for the new york post, not surprisingly, injustice first felon president after political hit job. of course, this is what americans, at least in new york are waking up to on their doorsteps this morning. the first, as you said, former us president convicted of a felony. now, what's next? the sentencing, as you said, john, that is on july 11 at 10:00 a.m. judge juan merchan sean is the one who will decide that sentencing. now there's a few factors that actually will go into his decision-making. one of those is any character references that the former president's family members might submit in writing, a recommendation from a probation officer also, the fact that the former president has no criminal history and the these crimes were not a violent crime. so that's going to go all into the decision making. but what's at stake before president trump can either receive probation or he can receive up to four years in prison for each of those 34 counts for a maximum of 20 years in prison. obviously, that is pretty unlikely, but certainly that is on the scale. judge juan merchan's his scalable, he can decide this morning we also hearing reaction from manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, the first person to bring an indictment against a former president. and of course, trump's defense team, let's take a listen to what they have to say we were indicted for conduct that happened in 2015, 16, 17 in a jurisdiction that it was very hard for us to get a fair trial. >> i think it's naive to say that this is like any other case. >> yeah. and bragg and his time saying that they think to jurors for their service saying, obviously that this defendant was like no other, but that they did their job. now, blanche also saying in an interview with caitlin when collins that they plan to file a number of motions before the sentencing date on july 11, and then after that sentencing, there obviously very likely going to appeal this conviction. we saw number of those filings prior to this trial, so we fully expect a lot of them to have to happen afterwards as well. one thing to note though, john bragg did say when he was asked what sort of sentencing recommendation hill make, he said the filings will speak for itself, would not make a public comment on that. john? >> no. alvin bragg, actually fairly tight lipped after this conviction, brynn gingras outside the courthouse. brynn, thank you very much. >> donald trump and his supporters are angry today. donald trump and his political opponent, joe biden, actually though agree on one key point coming out of this verdict, that this really doesn't end until november. biden saying the following. there's only one way to keep donald trump out of the oval office. at the ballot box, and donald trump put it this way the real verdict is going to be november 5 by the people and they know what happened here cnn's kristen holmes live outside from tower where we are going to be hearing from donald trump. >> he says he's going to be holding this press conference at 11:00 a.m. what are we expecting to hear from them? >> we're going to expect to hear exactly what we have been hearing that this was election interference, that this is political persecution. he's going to say that alvin bragg should have now for brought this case eddies going to try and link this case to president joe biden. and i will tell you when i talked to his senior advisers, they believe that this messaging is going to help him come november, that they can rally up and ramp up the base, as well as other republicans because of this, i want to give you a little bit of a taste of what donald trump had to say immediately after the verdict, more exact later, but here's what he said yesterday we didn't do a thing wrong. >> having a very innocent man. it's okay. i'm fighting for our country. i'm finding for our constitution country is big and rigged right down. we'll keep fighting, we'll fight til the end and we'll when because our country's gone to hell we don't have the same country anymore. we have a divided mess now there obviously are a lot of questions still about today. >> will he take questions? the other thing we wondering is whether or not melania trump we'll be by his side. we know that she is currently in new york last night donald trump was described to me as outraged as a surprise, shock despite the fact that he had told me people he thought it was possible that he was going to be convicted. the actual weight of it happening by the end of the 19th, daddy private fundraising dinner sources around them said that he was feeling in somewhat better spirits as those allies and donors aimed to convince them that this would help him both politically, and financially. we have not seen any of those fundraising number for is yet, but we have asked the big question though, is that we are in uncharted territory despite what his senior advisers safe, despite what they believe in, despite what has happened with his bare areas, legal issues which have boosted him both financially and in the polls, it is very unclear to everyone how this is going to impact voters going to the ballot box in november christina it's great to see you thanks for being there much more to come from from trump tower this morning, john. yeah. interesting to see if we see melania trump, who's in new york but did not go to any moment of the trial itself again, donald trump is set to speak this morning. >> we are standing by for that. he of course, is now a convicted felon and we are standing by for reaction from president biden, who will leave delaware, will he speak as he departs a police officer shot and killed, ambushed by the person he was trying to help officers i'll mitchell was honored last year by cnn for saving an elderly couple from a house fire. here is what michal told us then about the to share his view left part of the job like putting others, we're here to protect the community der we can to serve the community. we are trained to put other's lives in front of ours for russians were trying to spy on us. >> we were spying on them in this saturday, friday this is a war, but secret war, secrets and spies, a nuclear game. >> premier sunday at ten, on cnn, kinda riva support your brain health janet, hey, eddie, know, fraser, franck. >> franck, brad, how are you friends?

so we have motions due in a couple of weeks in front of judge more, sean, which we're going to vigorously fight and restate a lot of what i'm saying to you tonight and other things that happened or that trial that we think just made the trial unfair and including the testimony of of mr. daniel's why willis now former trump white house lawyer gym shoes, and former us attorney michael moore. thank you, gentlemen for being here. todd blanche says they will appeal. he says one of the things they will focus on is the testimony from stormy daniel's, which i think they're going to say was prejudicial the graphic, right? in some cases what do you think the strongest grounds for appeal are? >> yeah, i'm glad to be with you. i think that's a decent ground and move forward. i do think that her at her testimony went too far. there may should have been more objections, but certainly there are objectives on the record, and i think the core probably should have stepped in to do that. i think the other issue that is out there that will probably catch the attention of some some judge on an appellate court will be the due process issue and how they cloud well as how the charges are laid out. i mean, we believe in our system that a defendant has a right to be put on notice of the specific things that he or she would have to defend themselves against. that means that an indictment generally spells out the specific charge how are you did it, what implement you did it with, who you did it to. >> this was a little willy nilly in when they got to this second crime. >> so you remember they took this state statute that was a misdemeanor. they've made it a felony. they enhanced it by saying, well, he intended to violate another law, but they never really went into and explain what he was alleged to have highlighted. they did certain during the trial, they tried to make an effort, but it was back-and-forth on his tax case is at a federal election, laws or state election law. and i think that that may cause him them a problem. the conviction i think building on that, they instructed on federal campaign finance law but didn't let anybody testifies to what what the elements of that potential crime mark and the judge said, well, that's my job, right? >> well, at times and in federal court, they allow campaign finance expert that are specialized in that area to testify, happened in federal court in philadelphia in what was called the foreign az case, where a state senator was indicted they had someone who was an expert lawyer. they came in and testified on that case. there is precedent for that. they didn't do that here. and all they did was instruct the jury on that on the particular elements of the campaign finance issue on a case that was never prosecuted by the federal prosecutor. so they're saying the violated federal law was never prosecuted, goes back to the due process peace. and whether they should have been allowed to have someone testified in that case, whether the process was fair basically is what due process means in layman's terms. let me ask you this in retrospect what mistakes did the defense make? i read an op-ed this morning, bar a friend, renato mariotti, who said, one thing that offense it was opened the door to stormy daniels testimony because of the opening statements, todd blanche says they didn't have sex, right? he didn't have to say anything about that by doing that, you open the door to stormy daniel's. the other thing mariotti said is they didn't focus on exactly where the gray area is enough, which is what did donald trump actually know or do about the false documents? >> yeah. i mean, i think those are good points. i always hate to armchair quarterback and i know everybody still trying to digest the verdict that was especially on the, defense team. i'm sure but i do think maybe a more cohesive story, a lot of talking to a jury is just telling a story. are you able to tell it in a way that sets the base, sets the hook, and then keeps them interested in with you through the trial. and i think there was a little meandering back and forth. it would own i think they let they got into some information that was not necessary i mean, i think a lot of the questions it might have been effective at some point just to stand up, so i don't have any questions. this this this person knows nothing about whether or not he he falsified documents. who cares if a war boxers or condoms and that stuff matter. and i think those kind of issues became red herrings that were salacious, but didn't have anything to do with the cash yeah. >> look, i think we can look at the harvey weinstein case, right? that's what everybody's going to point back to now, that case had remember only some of the charges were dismissed in harvey weinstein case. this case, if if they find that that was prejudicial, all of those all of those convictions go out all 34 of them. this was not a sex crimes case like harvey weinstein, where it was part of the elements of the crime, but it was if it was viewed to be overly prejudicial versus the probative value then all of the charges are the todd blanche and the opening statements and i read the transcript. one of the way this day, he did open the door. so if he opens the door, why not drive through it? >> a great and the prosecution did that. they drove through it. it's a question what appellate judge is going to sound appeal as it relates to the prejudicial. the prejudicial effect versus the probative value. all right. we yeah about 30 seconds left here, michael, the jury now in retrospect, given the jury questions that we did have in the length of time they looked it to liberate. can you read anything from that? >> i don't really think so. i think they had made their mind up early on. i felt the delay of about a week from the time they finished the evit. so they got here. they probably got set in stone. the problem with that is that they didn't know the law. they were supposed to apply they just base it on sort of what their gut feelings were about some facts. and once you get sent in there that matter, what the judge tells you, you've got your stuck. we may never know. we may never hear yourself, although we might, we will see, we will also see sentencing on july 11. i think we're gonna see some books that's probably right here, maybe there may be. all right. >> an emotional were union as an american returns home?
