No problem in going to jail
The former president said that I have no problem going to jail. One day I saw one of my lawyers on television saying, ‘Oh no, you don’t want to do this with the President. So I said, don’t do it. You can’t beg for anything. It’s just the way it is.
Winning the presidential election
Trump said in the interview that my revenge will be completed by winning the presidential election. The current Republican White House candidate further warned that his imprisonment would be hard for the public to bear, saying it was a breaking point.
Guilty on multiple counts

Sentencing on July 11
During the six-week trial, the court heard from 22 witnesses, including Daniels.
