According to a report by Reuters on May 31, former US President Trump said he will appeal the verdict that made him the first former US president to be convicted of a criminal offense. However, he will not be able to appeal until his sentence is announced on July 11. According to reports, Trump held a press conference outside the Trump building in New York on May 31. He reiterated his allegation that the trial was a “manipulated” attempt to thwart his efforts to return to the White House, and warned that it proved that no American could avoid being prosecuted for political purposes. The report said that in his 33-minute unwritten speech, Trump said, “If they can do this to me, then they can do this to anyone.” Amidst applause from supporters, the Republican presidential candidate did not answer questions from reporters. “We are going to appeal this scam,” Trump said. The report indicated that Trump will have 30 days to file a notice of appeal from the announcement of his sentence on July 11. (Reference message)
