Donald Trump is wasting no time in getting back on the campaign trail now that the verdict is in and his historic criminal trial in New York City is over.
The former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee headlined a campaign fundraiser just a couple of hours after being convicted. On Saturday he'll attend a UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) match in Newark, New Jersey, Fox News confirmed. And on Sunday he'll sit for a "Fox and Friends" interview.
"We’ll be fighting hard," Trump told Fox News' Brooke Singman in an interview soon after he was found guilty of all 34 felony counts in his case, the first in which a former or current president stood trial.
Trump emphasized that he was excited to get back on the campaign trail.
On Friday, as he addressed reporters from the atrium of his Trump Tower in New York City, where he launched his first White House bid nine years ago, the former president vowed that "we're going to fight.".
For six weeks, Trump had been confined to the courtroom in Lower Manhattan, which prevented him from campaigning across the country other than on weekends and Wednesdays, when there was no trial.
But Trump's campaign touted that even during the duration of the trial, the candidate was able to generate "billions of dollars" in media coverage as well as host rallies and fundraisers.
