Will Scharf, lawyer for former President Donald Trump, told Newsmax on Friday that he was struck by something "very interesting" Trump said during his Manhattan press conference earlier in the day after being convicted by a New York jury on Thursday on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
"When you have this leftist weaponization of the courts, when you have this unprecedented campaign of lawfare and election interference being waged against President Trump, we're facing very dark times in terms of just the future of the American republic." Judge Juan Merchan has set the sentencing hearing for July 11, four days before Trump is expected to be officially named as the presidential nominee at the Republican National Committee's convention in Milwaukee.
"We believe that we'll get it overturned on appeal because of how very lawless it is," Scharf said. "But in the meantime, the American people have been subjected to a terrible spectacle, and I truly do fear for the future of our Constitution and for the future of our country."
