Former President Donald Trump announced he would hold a press conference on Thursday, shortly after a New York jury found him guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records.
He said the press conference is scheduled to take place at 11 a.m. Friday in the Atrium of Trump Tower in New York City.
“Press conference tomorrow at 11am in the Trump Tower Atrium. MAGA2024!” the 45th president said in a post on Truth Social.

“Win on November 5th. Save America!!!” Trump Said I will address this in a separate post after the ruling.
Trump was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records, a misdemeanor, but the statute of limitations had expired, Breitbart News’ Joel Pollack reported.
“District Attorney Alvin Bragg prosecuted the case as a felony, arguing that the alleged falsification of business records was done to cover up federal crimes. Mr. Trump has never been convicted of any such crime, and prosecutors did not specify what crimes were committed or have to prove any of those elements,” Pollack wrote.
He continued:
The former president has maintained throughout the trial that this was a form of election interference and a rigged trial in which Judge Juan Merchan was chosen despite (or perhaps because of) his political animosity. In any event, the unprecedented trial and the possible imprisonment of political opponents create few scenarios in which President Joe Biden’s victory could be considered legitimate.
Trump is scheduled to be sentenced in New York on July 11, four days before the start of the Republican National Convention, which will take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where delegates will vote for Trump as the presidential candidate.
