Todd Blanche, Trump's lead lawyer, tells Justice Merchan there is "no reason that the court should allow the verdict" because of Michael Cohen's testimony.

He says "perjury was committed" - claiming Cohen lied on the stand.

Justice Merchan then denies their motion to move for an acquittal of charges.

Michael Cohen ‘relieved’ after Trump verdict – as it happened

Trump claims he is ‘innocent’ and condemns what he calls a ‘rigged’ trial; sentencing to come days before Republican National Convention

Whining around the silver spoon in his mouth.

Imo.

Sentencing date set for 11 July​

Judge Juan Merchan sets sentencing for July 11 at 10am ET.

Trump lawyer Todd Blanche had asked Merchan that sentencing be set for mid or late July, because his lawyers now have to pivot to pre-trial hearings in Donald Trump’s other criminal case, the classified documents case in Florida.

Trump will be sentenced on 11 July​

Madeline Halpert
Reporting from court

Both teams of lawyers have approached the bench.

Donald Trump continues to sit still with his lips pursed at the defence table alone.
Trump's team is requesting a date of mid to late July for sentencing because of a conflict with another court hearing in Florida.

Prosecutors do not object.

Sentencing will take place on 11 July at 10:00 local time (15:00 BST) and the court will order a probation report for Trump, Merchan says.

"Sorry, Judge, we're just so swamped with all his other criminal trials. Best we can do is early July." - his beleaguered attorneys, apparently. Hope they're getting paid up front.

Indeed. Can we take a moment to recognize these ordinary people tasked with such a historic decision. I hope they will remain safe and anonymous.

I also hope that they all stay safe.

As for staying anonymous I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them goes public and writes a book about this trial. JMO.

Finally after all his acts of corruption, he is being held accountable for his actions!!
I love that he had to stand at attention as the guilty verdict was read,----
He can bloviate and rant and rave all he wants--- he has been deemed guilty!!!

 

[IzzyBlanche]

"Rigged trial, disgrace" blah blah blah blah

 

[d0lphin]

Today is a great day in the history of verdicts. Within an hour of another, two horrible cult leaders convicted on all counts.

It's a verdictapalooza!

"Bloviate" is such a perfect description. Thank you for that.
