Trump says he will appeal against his criminal conviction

Krishnan Guru-Murthy: ‘He blamed President Biden, called the judge a ‘tyrant’ and described the trial as a ‘scam’. Donald Trump says he’ll appeal against his criminal conviction – declaring that he is ‘willing to do whatever I have to do to save my country.’

It follows last night’s verdict, when a New York jury found Mr Trump guilty on 34 counts of business fraud. Speaking just now, Mr Biden said it was ‘dangerous and irresponsible’ to suggest the trial was rigged.’
