Trump breaks his silence on how Melania and Barron are coping since hush money trial guilty verdict – and responds to fears he could face jail or house arrest

Donald Trump revealed in a new interview how his family is dealing with his conviction and shared that he is prepared to face his conviction.

A jury in New York on Thursday found the former president guilty of all 34 charges of forging hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels. On July 11, he will be sentenced to a prison term of up to four years.

Over the course of the five-week trial, his youngest son Barron and his wife Melania Trump were noticeably absent from the courtroom.

In an interview with Fox & Friends weekendThe ex-president shared the trial and the verdict was difficult for his family.

“It’s harder, I think in many ways it’s probably harder on my family than it is on me,” Trump said.

“I have a wonderful wife who has to listen to this stuff all the time,” he said. “I think it’s very difficult for her, you know she has to read all this.”

Trump said his 18-year-old son Barron, who recently graduated from Oxbridge Academy, is focused on his future.

‘He is great. He is tall, good looking and a very good student. He’s applied to colleges and gets in everywhere he goes, you know? He is very sought after from a point of view, he is a very smart guy,” the ex-president said.

“He’s a very tall man and a great kid. He is cool. He’s pretty cool, I can tell you that.’

Trump’s legal team is expected to appeal, but the unprecedented conviction sets in motion a process that all convicted criminals within Manhattan’s criminal justice system face.

During the five-week trial, prosecutors detailed a plot by Trump to “corrupt” the 2016 election by concealing a $130,000 hush money payment by his “fixer” Michael Cohen to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Daniels claimed she and Trump had sex a decade earlier, which he has denied.

The case featured explosive evidence from Daniels and exposed the “catch and kill” practices of the tabloid National Enquirer, which bought and suppressed stories that could be damaging to Trump.

But the actual criminal complaint concerns something more prosaic: the reimbursements that Trump signed for Cohen for the payment.

The fees, paid by Trump in monthly installments, were recorded as legal fees.

Prosecutors say this was a fraudulent label intended to conceal the purpose of the hush money transaction and illegally interfere with the 2016 election.

Defense lawyers argued that Cohen actually did substantial legal work for Trump and his family and was paid for it.

The conviction begins a 30-day period during which the former president can appeal — a lengthy process that some legal experts say will be an uphill battle for Trump.

“I did absolutely nothing wrong,” Trump said. “I paid legal fees and they say it’s fraud.”

‘It was a difficult location. We tried to get out of the room, we tried to get out of the judge, we tried to get out of both, we didn’t even think about it. To me, we probably had maybe the worst area in the entire country.”

“But the good news is I think we’ve set a record that surpasses all fundraising records,” he said.

The former president maintained his innocence but said he was prepared to face conviction.

‘I’m okay with it. Don’t ask for anything, it’s just the way it is,” he said.

On the possibility that he could go to prison, he said: “I’m not sure the public would be in favor of that. I think it will be difficult for the audience to accept at some point that there is a breaking point.

Trump supporters have called for murder in the wake of his criminal conviction, with some saying it was ‘time to start pushing the limits [shooting] some leftists” and suggested that “someone should take care of the judge” presiding over the case.

Others have shared photos of inverted American flags — a symbol used by insurrectionists at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 — leading many to wonder if a similar event will take place if he is convicted.
