Trump is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors worked to prove that Trump falsified business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to former pornographic star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to quiet her claims of an alleged affair with Trump in 2006.
Trump addressed the media Wednesday, vowing that he will win the 2024 race for the White House, while slamming the case as one "Mother Teresa could not beat."
ROBERT DE NIRO CLAIMS TRUMP 'COULD DESTROY THE WORLD' OUTSIDE MANHATTAN COURT

On Tuesday, as the defense and prosecution teams delivered their respective closing arguments, the Biden-Harris campaign held a press conference outside the courtroom that was headlined by actor Robert De Niro. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were not present during the event.
De Niro claimed in his comments that Trump "could destroy the world" if he’s re-elected.

"Donald Trump wants to destroy not only the city, but the country. And eventually he could destroy the world," De Niro said.
"I owe this city a lot. And that's why it's so weird that Donald Trump is just across the street because he doesn't belong in my city. I don't know where he belongs, but he certainly doesn't belong here. We New Yorkers used to tolerate him when he was just another grubby real estate hustler masquerading as a big shot," De Niro added.
The actor was shouted down during the event by protesters supporting Trump, including the actor getting into a heated back and forth with protesters as he left the press conference.
Trump has, meanwhile, repeatedly slammed the trial as one promoted by the Biden administration in an effort to hurt their political opponent.

"Let me just tell you that the White House… they're the one trying this case. You heard who was doing all the talking: a representative from the White House, just recently. This is all about Biden, he can't campaign. So, he's trying to injure his opponent. They're trying to hurt the opponent because they can't win it fair and square. It's lawfare," Trump said last week.
