Michael Cohen has broken his silence after Donald Trump was found guilty on all counts in his historic hush money trial.
Cohen, whose evidence was crucial in convicting his ex-boss, said: “Today is an important day for accountability and the rule of law.
“While it has been a difficult journey for me and my family, the truth always matters.
“I want to thank my attorneys, Danya Perry and Joshua Kolb, for their invaluable guidance and support throughout this process.”
Just minutes after the verdict was announced, the Trump campaign sent out a fundraising email in which he said, in all capital letters, “I am a political prisoner!”
Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his criminal hush money trial, a jury decided on Thursday after just over 11 hours of deliberations.
This makes him the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes.
Jurors rules that he had falsified business records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to adult film actress who said the two had sex.
He will be sentenced on July 11.
DON’T MISS:
Speaking outside the court, a shellshocked Trump vowed to fight on and branded the trial “rigged.”
He also claimed he’s “a very innocent man.”
The 77-year-old Republican said: “I’m a very innocent man…This was a rigged, disgraceful trial…This was done by the Biden administration in order to hurt a political opponent. It’s a disgrace, and we’ll keep fighting. Our country has gone to hell. We’re a nation in decline.
“This was a rigged decision right from day one, with a conflicted judge who should never have been allowed to judge this case…The real verdict is in November.”
