Former President Donald Trump, who was found guilty on all 34 counts in his New York criminal hush money trial, is expected to hold a press conference Friday morning. USA TODAY will be providing live coverage of the event, scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. ET in Trump Tower. Viewers can watch the live stream on USA TODAY’s website or YouTube channel.
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, was convicted by a jury on Thursday of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. He becomes the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime.
Following the verdict, Trump expressed his discontent to reporters outside the courtroom, claiming innocence and labeling the outcome as a “disgrace.” The trial, spanning over six weeks, marked a historic moment as the first criminal trial against a former president in U.S. history.
