Trump reveals Melania’s reaction to hush money trial verdict: Latest updates

I think we all know this one is a very long way from being true.

Here are a few other key lines from his sitdown with Pete Hegseth and friends.

Also during his Fox interview on Sunday, Trump also said that while he personally would be “OK” with a jail sentence, his supporters might not accept it.

“I don’t know that the public would stand it,” he warned.

“You know, I don’t… I’m not sure the public would stand for it. I think it would be tough for the public to take. You know, at a certain point, there’s a breaking point.”

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and now convcited felon, has said the guilty verdict against him at his New York hush money trial is “tougher” for his wife Melania Trump to accept that it is for him.

Here’s more on his big Fox News interview from Shweta Sharma.

Judge Aileen Cannon has given Donald Trump until 14 June to respond to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s motion to modify the conditions of Trump’s release.

Mr Smith is asking Judge Cannon to block Trump from making statements that could harm law enforcement officials in his secret documents case.

Cyrus Vance Jr, who served in the office from 2010 to 2022, made the admission while appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday morning.

“The president has made this a little more complicated by having been found in contempt 10 times during the court,” he said during the interview.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said the former president will still be able to vote in his home state despite his felony conviction.

That’s because Florida law only prevents voters convicted of a felony from casting their ballot if the convicting state strips them of that right. Because he was convicted in New York, a state that allows voters convicted of felony crimes to vote, the former president will still be able to vote in New York.

But Mr DeSantis said that, even if that wasn’t the case, he would fight for Trump to have his voting rights restored.

“Former President Donald Trump hasn’t lost his voting rights in Florida,” the governor wrote on X. “Rights are not removed in Florida where they haven’t yet been stripped in the convicting jurisdiction.”

“That said, given the absurd nature of the New York prosecution of Trump, this would be an easy case to qualify for restoration of rights per the Florida Clemency Board, which I chair.”

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has joined TikTok, the short video social media platform that is owned by China-based tech giant ByteDance and that he tried to ban as president, ahead of the US elections in November.

Politico, which first reported the news, said he posted a launch video on his account on Saturday night. The video showed Trump greeting fans at an Ultimate Fighting Championship fight in Newark, New Jersey.

The account, President Donald J. Trump with the address @realdonaldtrump, had more than 450,000 followers by 0800 GMT.

ByteDance is challenging in courts a US law that came into effect in April requiring it to sell TikTok by next January or face a ban. The White House says it wants to see Chinese-based ownership ended on national security grounds, but not a ban on TikTok.

TikTok has argued that it will not share US user data with the Chinese government and that it has taken substantial measures to protect the privacy of its users.

Trump’s attempt to ban TikTok in 2020 when he was president was blocked by the courts. He said in March that the platform was a national security threat but also that a ban on it would hurt some young people and only strengthen Meta Platforms’ Facebook, which he has strongly criticized.

President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign joined the app in February.

A New York jury found the former president guilty on 34 counts of falsifying records to cover up payments to porn star Stormy Daniels as part of a conspiracy to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
