Former President Donald Trump has opened up about the toll his recent legal troubles have taken on his wife, Melania Trump. In a recent interview with Fox News, Trump revealed that his historic trial and criminal conviction have been “very hard” for the former First Lady.
Last week, Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records to conceal hush-money payments made to former porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election campaign. This verdict marked the first time a US president has been convicted of a crime.
Despite the conviction, Trump has maintained his innocence and called the trial rigged and politically motivated. He is set to be sentenced on July 11 and plans to appeal the convictions.
In the midst of his legal battles, Trump acknowledged the impact on his family, particularly his wife. He expressed that the situation has been tough on Melania, stating, “She’s fine, but I think it’s very hard for her.”
Looking ahead, Trump vowed to seek revenge through success at the upcoming November US election. He acknowledged the possibility of imprisonment, but questioned whether the public would accept such an outcome.
Meanwhile, Stormy Daniels, the central figure in the New York case, expressed shock at the swift verdict and called for Trump to face consequences for his actions. She emphasized that the case is far from over for her, as she continues to grapple with the aftermath of her involvement with Trump.
As Trump navigates multiple legal challenges in various states, including Georgia and Florida, the former president remains embroiled in legal battles that could have far-reaching implications for his future. The saga continues as Trump fights to clear his name and maintain his political relevance in the face of mounting legal pressure.
