'I'm a very innocent man': Trump attacks rule of law after 'rigged' guilty verdict

Raw Story  

Donald Trump spoke to the press outside the courtroom where he was found guilty on 34 felony counts in his New York trial about the falsification of business records around the coverup of an alleged affair. "This was a disgrace," Trump said in his statement. He went on to blame the fact that he couldn't get a change of venue for his guilty verdict, saying that the jurors were Democrats thus they could not return a real verdict. He rambled on about fighting and winning before attacking the United States as a whole, saying it has "gone to hell" and saying it is no longer the same country it once was.
