angeles and this is america's late news, auction is at night. -- fox news at night. >> it's time for dancing in the streets. >> trace: brand-new reaction to donald trump being found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records period the verdict, no surprise being celebrated by the left. supporters of the former president have a much different take. >> what was going through your head? is. >> i almost fainted. it's disgusting, i'm telling you men. >> what they are doing to this man is disgusting. it wouldn't happen to anyone else. >> trace: the verdict appears to be igniting the trump base even more. campaigns is the digital fundraising system is overwhelmed but the former president appears to be unshaken by the outcome, vowing to continue the fight all the way to the ballot box. >> this was a rig, disgraceful trial with -- the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people. >> trace: we have team fox coverage. we begin with nate foy, he's live outside the new york courthouse with more on the unprecedented conviction period good evening. >> reporter: you just saw the emotion outside the courthouse. inside the courthouse, when that verdict was read, donald trump showed no emotion whatsoever. he is now a convicted felon pending an appeal for falsifying business records to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election. you saw trump stoic after court today. he is already turning his attention to november and this year's presidential election, saying this after court. >> this was a rigged, disgraceful trial. the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people and they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here. the whole thing, we didn't do a thing wrong. we will keep fighting, we will fight until the end and we will win. >> reporter: as for what comes next, a trump has 30 days to appeal. it's unlikely that he will go to jail because trump has no criminal history and these are nonviolent crimes. but jail time is possible. he faces up to four years for each of the 34 counts but under new york law the maximum sentence for this level of felony is 20 years. manhattan da alvin bragg reacted to the guilty verdict after court tonight. >> i did my job. my job was to follow the facts and the law without fear of favourite. that's what we did here and what i feel is gratitude to work on long side phenomenal public servants who do that each and every day. >> reporter: todd blanche challenged the verdict but judge merchan denied the motion. the only way the jury can find trump guilty is if they believe the testimony of michael cohen, blanche claims that cohen lied on the stand during his trial. he admitted to lying several times under oath. he's the only person directly connecting trump to the stormy daniels deal. so as we look forward, trump's sentencing hearing is on july 11th. that's just four days before the republican national convention in milwaukee so after spending 23 days in this courtroom now, trump is already as you mentioned raising money of this conviction and he can turn his attention back to politics. we will send it back to you. >> trace: thank you, let's bring in the cochair of the america first policy institute's centre for law and justice former florida attorney general ... former dod chief of staff along with... thank you all for coming on. jonathan turley said this earlier. i thought it was fascinating, watch. >> it's not good president and i think when people, perhaps some who are celebrating tonight and the celebrations are occurring all around us, i think that some may look back at this and wonder what we've done because there is great damage year. >> trace: how much damage does this do? how much trust is lost in the u.s. justice system? >> a tremendous amount of trust is lost in the justice system tonight. we all know that and this judge has committed reversible error every step of the way throughout this trial. i think all lawyers are convinced it will be reversed. the american people see through it. donald jay trump.com shutdown today because the internet crashed because so many americans were donating and it's back up and running now. the people were patient and is so people see what's happening around this country and what happened to him. i fully agree with the professor and what he said. it's a sad day for the justice system. >> trace: trump attorney todd blanche said this to jesse watters earlier. >> the district attorney says that these kind of cases happen all the time. that is not true. that does not happen all the time. it doesn't happen all the time in manhattan, it doesn't happen all the time in any jurisdiction in this country. >> trace: bread and butter? this is so unprecedented, it's amazing that he would say that. >> it's shockingly unconstitutional. it's great to be with you and i'm here to announce a measure that i'm working with congress that should be congress -- congress has bread-and-butter. i'm calling for the subpoenas to be issued to the judges company ... i want to know the bank records because money doesn't lie. on want to know how deep it is and how much of it went to the family and how much of it is going to the family after this false conviction and then we need to investigate the actual violations at this judge and his family conducted because he should never have been overseeing this trial to begin with because of the illicit campaign money that was flowing through their and the unconstitutional due process violations are only the beginning. america is calling for accountability of our judicial system and congress is the only lever that hasn't. i'm hoping for one or two brave members of congress that i'm talking to issue subpoenas asap. >> trace: he came under a lot of focus on this thing. it was one of those things where in the world of alvin bragg, you didn't even have to have one crime. you could pick of a buffet of crimes. and any one of those would get you a conviction. >> translating what you are saying through the lens of a criminal defence practitioner, what you're saying is there's a violation of due process. defendants have a right to proper notice. what are the charges? where the witnesses? in this case the judge allowed witnesses to be disclosed to the defence at the very last moment. similarly, this judge allowed structures to go to the jury >> it's really comical win you have the frightening sound of a prosecutor who has immense power over the citizenry in that area, they say it's not force or fear or favour, we let the law lead and we followed it. the reality is, favour was the horse and the lead and they found a way to go back to statements from 2017, don't forget, and bolster that underneath the felony charge to bring this case to a very biased court. >> trace: somebody said today that alvin bragg once a criminals protected and political opponents jailed. would you agree with that assessment? >> i would say look at the facts. donald trump as their political opponent and they've been chasing donald trump since alvin bragg was running for office. they actually campaigned and fun raised off the fact that they were going to prosecute and convict donald trump. the teacher james also hired... in her state attorney general's office. they have completely weapon eyes to the system of justice and done away with the rule of law. one of the most reversible errors that i saw occur was this judge gave a jury instruction that literally left the bottom of the envelope blank. it said you don't have to find unanimously beyond a reasonable doubt what the underlying felony is. you find -- you have to find that you think he committed a crime. that is ever about these people don't care because all they want to do is take a victory lap. >> trace: is there a feeling that the democrats stepped across a line here? >> of course they did. americans all over this country are donating, the website crashed and americans sea what's going on. you said the bread and butter that alvin bragg said what he did. that's not what that office does. that's not what the function of the office should be. it should be prosecuting violent criminals. crime on the subway. i believe there was a stopping just before the verdict came in at half of nypd was there protecting the courthouse not by choice. all of these prosecutors were in there watching the trial instead of prosecuting. that should be the bread-and-butter. violent crime in new york city. it was going after a political opponent trace. >> trace: standby for one second we will get back to you in moments. another big question facing the nation tonight is what impact today's historic verdict will have on november's presidential election. live with more on the political fallout. >> reporter: trump left the courthouse after his guilty verdict today appearing rather stonefaced saying this was a regular trial in part because the judge would not grant a change of venue. out of deep blue manhattan. >> and this was rigged, disgraceful trial. the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people and they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here. >> reporter: the presidential candidate went to trump tower and waved his fist at the crowded. as many predicted, today's guilty verdict might ignite... drums donation website briefly went down today and... reading i was just convicted in a rigged political witchhunt. i did nothing wrong. and a text message, biden's campaign urged his supporters to counter trump donations, writing donald trump supporters are fired up and likely setting fundraising records for his campaign. while the rights comes to the aid of trump, joe biden and those who care about democracy need you. some known opponents of trump like adam shift posted on. first... now donald jay trump is a convicted felon. all our and affirmation of the role of law. a short while ago tonight, ivankovic trump posted this picture to instagram writing i love you dad. 67 percent of registered photos -- voters nationwide said an npr poll that today's guilty verdict will make no difference in how they vote. >> trace: that's a big number. thank you. let's bring in steve hilton, and ... thank you all for coming on. lauren do you think this helps or hurts the former president politically? >> zero, probably no impact. it's just a couple percentage points on the positive, a couple on the negative. all of that will wash out by the election. i think most of the impact is frankly a miscalculation that democrats are making that people really care about donald trump's crimes and possible crimes when most people just want to know is this person going to help me and my family more than the guy in office right now. so i do think if it is an impact, it's a huge miscalculation by democrats but likely nothing at all. >> trace: the biden campaign sent out this text, convicted felon or not, trump will be republican nominee for president. there is one other certainty as you read this, and supporters are fired up and likely setting fundraising records for his campaign. steve hilton, they got that right. >> how dare they by the way in the tweet you talked about caring about democracy. democracy? from these people? they undermined it today. they go on and on about january 6th. this is the democrats. much, much worse. it's not just a few rogue elements. this is the entire party. the entire establishment. the media echo chamber. all of them preemptively some -- subverting the peaceful transfer of power. these people, this failed, feckless establishment who from day one couldn't bear the idea that the american people with donald trump as their president. they've been trying to do this from day one. you had the last election... the laptop and the cover up there and now this. how dare they talk to anyone about democracy. they will not succeed because this is america and people will not stand for this. >> trace: even rfk junior said this is not democratic. he's running against both trump and biden but this is in my democracy. >> i think that point is where people will come down on. i don't have a strong opinion about anything happening in the courtroom but i know that this isn't america and i think in terms of president trump, preverdict he was winning. if the election was held tomorrow he would win. opposed verdict he is emboldened and that only helps him as well. it's not a good day for joe biden, i don't think he brought any new people to his side today and he needs them. >> trace: not sure it was a good day for larry hogan either, he said regardless of the results i urge all americans to respect the verdict in the legal process at this dangerously divided moment in our history, all leaders were godless of party... with more toxic partisanship, we must reaffirm what has made this nation great and the rule of law ... >> i'm not done with hogan. he's trying to win as a republican in a blue state. more power to him, i hope he takes that seat. i think that's very fair and even on brand for him. i'm not going to bash a moderate republican trying to win back the senate. >> trace: a lot of people say i'm not sure he's a moderate republican anymore. they say if you're shocked that the donation page crashed after the ruling you are part of the problem and will never understand why millions of americans support the former president touch grass and logoff resistance twitter. people don't understand what this is all about. >> that's right and they never have. laced near -- they smear trump and trump supporters. the anger and their failures, years and decades in the making. the more that they try to use these unfair, illegitimate, of all this means to bring him down, the more fired up the movement dot -- that donald trump created will be. >> trace: do you agree with that assessment? people don't quite get what this whole movement is about. >> donald trump is the blue-collar billionaire. he represents the everyday guy which is funny considering he's a billionaire. he's not afraid to fight. that's what they say. they say republicans never fight, you just apologize. donald trump doesn't apologize, he fights and that's why average hard-working americans want in our elected officials and that's why he resonates. despite democrats trying to put some logic on it, they can't because they refused to understand that piece of it. >> trace: republicans may be fighting before they know it. thank you all. >> what they are doing to this man is disgusting. it should happen to no one else, they're trying to stop him from campaigning. everybody can see that. >> i'm so pleased that there's finally some accountability. he has abated a lot -- the law for many years, decades and it's finally caught up to him. also this is -- we are fighting for democracy here. >> it's going to increase his chances to win. it's in the public's eye how they are using this judicial system just to penalize him to get him away from running for president again. >> trace: mixed reaction from voters after the guilty verdict for donald trump. let's go to our legal panel. thank you all, the new york times as the following donald trump fell in. the greatest good to come out of this sort of case is the proof that the rule of law finds everyone, even former presidents. they keep pushing this thing that this was just a run-of-the-mill case. >> if you really think about this and you distill all the theatrics into what it really is, the sand at the bottom of the ocean, what you're talking about here is a politician turned prosecutor who said i'm going after donald trump, elect me and i will do it. this should not be allowed. if he went into office and he didn't go after donald trump, he would be out of a job. this is foundation only the pollution of the legal system and it should send chills up all leaders and common citizens finds. >> trace: trumps us -- trump's attorney said this earlier. >> did your client get a fair trial? >> no. i don't think so. we've been saying for over a year that we couldn't get a fair trial in manhattan, we couldn't get a fair trial with the judge and it played out in lots of ways exactly as we expected. >> trace: what attorney thought this was a fair trial? >> non. i was in court last week when todd blanche and his partner were arguing the jury instructions which i always felt were the most crucial part of this trial other than picking the jury. they did a great job arguing it but the judge it shut them down every step of the way. it's a criminal case yet the judge would not allow the defence to put the will -- word wilful in front of intent. that's the burden in criminal case. 's response was it's not necessary do they know this case is going to get overturned on appeal? they won the battle they are going to lose the war. all they wanted was the short-term when so they can have him convicted. sentencing is four days before the public -- before the republican national convention and they can call him a convicted felon. it's backfiring. >> trace: the battle part of it, can you pinpoint where you think the jury thought the second crime or what you think the second crime of the three was? >> i don't think the jury knew. the judge gave him free reign. they said you don't have to figure out the second part of the crime. i've never seen a criminal jury instruction in my entire career read like that where it said the u.s. supreme court has specifically stated all elements of all counts of all crimes have to be proven beyond to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt and it has to be unanimous. the jury was removed from that option because the judge gave them a hall pass. to reflect on what joe biden said today, they said if donald trump is elected, he's going to terminate the constitution. today the constitution was exterminated by the disoriented rule of law in new york. i want to see all these constitutional hard-liners that are all in the radical left-wing media talking heads this week. i want to see what they have to say 100 biden's jury is sworn in next week and if they want those meticulous jury instructions to be given to hunter biden. what we saw today was a weapon eyes did system of justice cut apart due process with this judge and the prosecution and denied it donald trump every single right of due process he deserves. >> trace: is this overturned on appeal? >> beyond a shot about -- beyond a shadow of a doubt. this judge has tripped on his feet. >> trace: thank you all. coming up, rigged or right? the mainstream media still celebrating the verdicts. we will play you sound from other networks that you may find enlightening. later we asked you a few weeks ago whether trump had a shot in a deep blue manhattan courtroom, clearly the answer was no. what was your reaction to today's guilty verdict? didn't make you angry, sad, some other emotion and why? let us know. we will read your responses inse the nightcap. voices of people with cidp: cidp disrupts. cidp derails. let's be honest... all: cidp sucks! voices of people with cidp: but living with cidp doesn't have to. when you sign up at shiningthroughcidp.com, you'll find inspiration in real patient stories, helpful tips, reliable information, and more. cidp can be tough. but finding hope just got a little easier. sign up at shiningthroughcidp.com. all: be heard. be hopeful. be you. when your cat's hungry, you definitely know. when he wants your attention, he makes it clear. when he wants to be left alone, he makes it obvious. but if your cat has oa pain, also known as osteoarthritis pain, he may be saying “ow” in different ways. it's a long-lasting condition that makes it painful for your cat to move like they once did, like when walking or climbing. red flags are everywhere. but cats are really good at hiding their pain, so you just need to know what to look for. visit catredflags.com to learn about the signs of oa pain and how your vet can help. >> to conceal a scheme to corrupt w
