Former President Donald Trump was found guilty of all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records by a Manhattan jury on Thursday. In an interview with Fox News that aired Sunday, Trump addressed the possibility of facing jail time or house arrest, expressing a sense of acceptance about the potential outcomes. "I'm okay with it," Trump stated.
He suggested that his sentencing could be a pivotal moment for the public, implying it might lead to significant unrest. Trump referenced a recent television appearance by one of his lawyers who advised against harsh penalties for the former president. Trump recalled responding, "You don’t beg for anything."
Trump emphasized his belief that his sentencing could be difficult for the public to accept, stating, "I don’t think the public would stand it. I’m not sure the public would stand for it." He added, "I think it would be tough for the public to take. You know, at a certain point, there’s a breaking point."
