Former President Donald Trump came out swinging against the sham verdict handed down to him on Thursday which found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records.
Moments after the verdict was read, Trump exited the courthouse, stone-faced and in disbelief that the politically corrupt jury failed to uphold the integrity of the judicial process.

The Trump campaign released a statement, defending the former president and criticizing the left for politically attacking him.
"This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent," the statement read. "We're a nation in decline, serious decline, millions and millions of people pouring into our country right now from prisons and from mental institutions, terrorists, and they're taking over our country. We have a country that's in big trouble."
"They know what happened here, and everybody knows what happened here. You have a Soros-backed DA, and the whole thing, we didn't do a thing wrong," the statement continued.
