Former President Donald Trump has announced his intention to appeal the recent guilty verdict in Manhattan, denouncing what he describes as a "scam" and expressing profound discontent with the conduct of the presiding judge. The decision to appeal follows a trial related to Trump's business records, which was held at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse and concluded with a guilty verdict.

In a fervent declaration, Trump conveyed his determination to challenge the verdict on numerous grounds, asserting, "We're going to be appealing it on many different things." He went on to criticize the judge's handling of the trial, alleging an obstruction of due process, stating, "He wouldn't allow us to have witnesses. He wouldn't allow us to talk. He wouldn't allow us to do anything. The judge was a tyrant."

During his remarks, Trump also expressed solidarity with his associate Bob Costello, describing him as "a fine man" and condemning the judge's conduct during the trial. "I've never seen anything like it. And neither has anybody that was in that courthouse where he demanded that the courthouse be cleared," Trump declared.
