♪ g good evening. i'm bret baier. breaking tonight fox news has new and exclusive reaction from president biden on the guilty verdict in former president trump's historic criminal trial. the first of a former current president in u.s. history. we have been talking about that and the fallout of it. now a little q&a. white house correspondent peter doocy joins us live from the north lawn with that. good evening, peter. >> peter: good evening, bret. it took 24 hours but we finally got president biden to tell us what he thinks the trump convictions mean for him ahead of november's elections this is iphone video as we took as he got done toasting the kansas city chiefs on the north lawn and you will only see it here. >> peter: do you think this conviction helps trump in the election? >> are you worried that this could happen to you some day, somebody comes up with some charges and tries to bring you into court after your term? [inaudible] and when trump says

you are just trying to bruise him, what do you say? politically? he thinks you are polling the strings behind the scenes doing all this to help yourself? >> i didn't know i was that powerful. >> peter: the president did not take questions earlier today when he spoke as israeli defense forces carried out operations looking for hamas weapons and fighters in the center of wrath fall. where hundreds of thousands of displaced principallians remain and where president biden has warned israel must not carry out a large ground operation. so today, he endorsed a new three part israeli proposal to hamas that calls for a cease-fire, hostage exchange, and a rebuilt gaza. >> i know there are those in israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for the war to continue indefinitely. the hostages are not a priority to them. >> peter: the president claims israeli objectives have already been achieved. >> at this point, hamas no longer is capable of carrying out another october 7th.

>> peter: that heavy talk gave way to the lighter annual tradition and celebrating the super bowl champions. >> the first team in 20 years to win back to back. [cheers] >> winning back to back. i kind of like that. >> peter: and surprisingly, white house officials seem ready to move on. they chose to have president biden talk a lot today about the war in gaza, an issue that has proven to be politically perilous for him and only a little about trump, an issue that president biden told us he isn't sure about politically. bret? >> bret: nice job getting the q&a. peter doocy live on the north lawn. thank you. we will discuss more about the israel hamas war in our "common ground" segment with senators fetterman and cassidy coming up. ♪ >> bret: breaking tonight, presumptive republican presidential nominee former president donald trump is cashing in big on that conviction.

former president's campaign announcing it raked in about $38 million in all from almost 500,000 donors in the hours after the guilty verdict on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. fundraising and campaigning around the verdict now a big part of the political fallout. correspondent mark meredith is following the story. good evening, mark. >> mark: bret, good evening to you. tonight, former president trump is vowing to appeal thursday's 34-count criminal conviction. the move could delay any potential jail time he would serve and the trump campaign is also working in overtime to try to turn this entire case into an asset instead of a political liability. [cheers] >> mark: one day after becoming a convicted felon, former president trump reembraced the spotlight. >> it's a very unpleasant thing to be honest. but it's a great, great honor. we're going to fight. a lot of people would have gone away a long time ago. >> mark: today trump took no questions. instead, he relaunched attacks

on district attorney alvin bragg, former fixer michael cohen and president biden. >> and these are bad people and these are, in many cases i believe sick people. >> cohen said trump got what he deserved. >> it's accountability. it's exactly what america needs right now. >> trump is due back in court in mid july for sentencing. and while he could end up behind bars, so far that's not scaring off donors. the trump campaign says it's already raised over $34 million since the verdict. >> the fact is that we had so much traffic that it actually crashed our website. >> as the money rolled, in trump's potential vice presidential picks rushed to defend him. >> the trial fundamentally was rigid. it was always about politics. >> this is flat out wrong. our country is better than. this maryland republican senate candidate larry hogan a vocal trump critic says it's important to, quote: reaffirm what has made this nation great the rule of law. on capitol hill house republicans are demanding bragg, who prosecuted the case, testify within two weeks. bragg has yet to say if he will

accept the invite but told reporters the trial was warranted. >> i did my job. our job is to fault facts and the law without fear or favor. >> tonight, eight republican senators are vowing to vote down any of president biden's judicial nominees because of this trump case. as for trump, he doesn't have any rallies on the schedule for this weekend, but he will be heading out to west to california next week, bret, for multiple fundraisers i would bet he will make quite a bit of news out there as well. bret? >> bret: mark, thank you. president trump says he will appeal the guilty verdicts. tonight we are learning more about what that may look like. correspondent nate foy is outside the new york state supreme court with that part of the story. [cheers and applause] >> former president donald trump plans to appeal his conviction of falsifying business records to unlawfully influence the 2016 it on many different things. >> today trump called judge juan merchan a tyrant for imposing a gag order on him and refusing full testimony from former fec

chairman brad smith during the trial. trump will have 30 days to appeal after merchan hands down his sentence on july 11th, just four days before the republican national convention in milwaukee. trump plans to challenge the trial's fairness given his status as a celebrity and the former president. the feds will question the credibility of the prosecution's star witness michael cohen. trump's attorneys laid the groundwork during the trial and likely revisit key rulings like judge merchan's denial of a mistrial motion after salacious testimony from adult film actress stormy damages at the time merchan said better if some of these things had been left unsaid. but merchan also criticized trump's lawyers for not objectinobjecting enough. in 2020 the judge donated $35 to democrats, including 15 to then candidate joe biden.

pler chan's daughter also works for a democratic political campaign firm. while the state commission on judicial conduct dismissed an ethics complaint against merchan, trump maintains prosecutors received preferential treatment. >> we weren't allowed to use our election expert under any circumstances. but when the government wanted something, they got everything. they got everything they wanted. >> trump faces possible jail time. probation or fines. when he is sentenced here coming up on july 11th. but an appellate court could essentially push back or delay the execution of that sentence until after the appeals process plays out, which is expected to take several months and is not expected to be finished before the november election. bret? >> bret: nate foy outside the courthouse. nate, are you going to miss that place? >> nate: ha. i'm happy that it's over, bret. >> bret: all right. all right. thank you, sir. nice job. >> we had a conflicted judge,

highly conflicted. there's never been a more conflicted judge. now, i'm under a gag order. had to pay thousands of dollars in penalties and fines and was threatened with jail. >> bret: let's get some analysis now today's developments former u.s. attorney brett tolman. bret, good evening. you know, a lot about this judge and to the former president's point he is still under that gag order until it's officially relieved. ellie w wrote this prosecutors t trump but they contorted the law. the judge donated money to a pro-biden anti-trump political operation including funds that the judge earmarked for resisting the republican party and donald trump's radical right wing legacy with folks have been just fine if the folks had stayed on the case to re-elect donald trump maga forever. absolutely not. this is the section of the rule in new york.

section 100.5. rules for the chief administrative judge. a judge or candidate for elective judicial office shall refrain from inappropriate political activity. prohibited political activity shall include soliciting funds for, pays an assessment to or making a contribution to a political organization or candidate: so i start with you, you know, supporters of the judge and the verdict say hey, it was 35 bucks. what's the big deal? what do you say about all of that? >> yeah, bret, you know, there was a time in which judges really bent over backwards to make sure that the public had a perception of fairness. and a perception of impartiality. and i know judges that for far less recuse themselves in order to give some confidence to the public. we don't see that in this case. instead, we have some gray and hazy evidence that he received the case, perhaps on purpose. we also don't know why he didn't

take the higher road and give confidence. i mean, imagine how different it would be, bret, if the judge recused a new judge with very little, you know, conflict or no conflict, took over, that there was a presumption of innocence and that the defense was given far greater latitude to defend themselves, and at that point, if a conviction occurs, you have a lot more confidence that the system at least worked the way that it was supposed to work. here, we lose confidence from the very beginning of this case, from the charging, and the grand jury to the jury instructions and conviction. >> bret: and a number of avenues there for an appeal on the new york side. we have talked before about the possibility as slim as it might be of going directly to the u.s. supreme court. mark levin led -- laid some of that out on "fox & friends" this morning. take a listen.

>> judiciary on its own based on its own powers and based on its own precedent. can take on a matter regardless of the se certiorari. i would go the appellate process in new york simultaneously if i were trump's lawyer, i would move for the appellate court to stay any further decisions by the lower court. but then i would try and go to the u.s. supreme court because donald trump for six weeks has not been able to campaign like a normal candidate, to visit voters, to meet voters, to go rallies. and voters, voters and ultimately the american people are the victims here. >> bret: to mark's point, if you look at the calendar, that sentencing, july 11th, again, is four days before the start of the republican national convention in milwaukee. and there you see the timeline of things. what do you make of that, bret?

>> bret: two things, i think mark levin is correct. i think there is an emergency appeal that could take place. i don't believe the supreme court if they granted it would actually go to the merits of the case. i think they would stay the imposition of sentence and allow donald trump to go forward. and the basis, bret, for that, i think would be on the question around the identifying of the underlying or the predicate charge, the fifth, sixth amendments constitutections allw what we're being charged so that we can prepare a defense. i think it's possible. and with respect to the timing of this, i think there is even more reason for the supreme court to say let's push pause so that we can -- they can pursue the appeal but it doesn't jeopardize the fact that this is a viable candidate who is likely to get the republican nomination. and it's a few days before such an important decision is to be made.

report." time for "common ground" segment. joining us tonight pennsylvania democratic senator john fetterman and louisiana republican senator bill cassidy. senators, thanks for being here. i want to talk about your legislation that you are working on together protecting students on campus act. but i do want to talk about the breaking news about this conviction of the former president, the reaction to it. senator fetterman, first to you, you know, conservative legal analysts say this case in new york would never have been brought against anyone who was not named donald trump and that this is a political prosecution that will effect the elections. how do you see it? what's your reaction? >> well, i mean, that's really not my judgment whether or not they should have brought that. that was their call. but, what i do believe is that it's not going to be anything meaningful, have an impact on donald trump's running for the president. i think everybody involved in this already understood what this was about. and all of his supporters already understand that.

>> bret: from the listen side, liberal legal analysts say this is evidence that no one is above the law. this was a jury that listened to five weeks of testimony. and now the former president is a convicted felon and that should factor into people's sense about the election. how do you think about that? >> you know, i'm not an attorney, but i will say this. no one is above the law. no one should be targeted by the law. when someone runs for district attorney in new york city, a political office, declaring that he is going to go after donald trump, and then he takes two misdemeanors and somehow two misdemeanors become a felony and here it looks like the rule of law has been twisted. >> bret: senator fetterman, one thing you are working on with senator cassidy is this protecting students on campus act. it's a bill to combat college anti-semitism inform students of the right to file complaints, require civil rights violation reporting, audit institutions with high ratios, document response monthlily to congress. why do this? >> well, because it's a real issue there. it's a very, very much a real

situation there on campuses all across america. you know, even just a couple days ago i was at the graduation and i was talking to students there as well. and people have felt overwhelmed after october 7th on some of the things reaction there to. there is a lot of campuses unwilling to protect members of the jewish community on our campuses. >> bret: senator fetterman, all the way back to november, you have been taunted by pro-palestinian protesters really going after you. >> oh no and somehow i'm still okay. >> bret: senator cassidy, it's a big problem? >> it is a big problem. i have asked senator bernie sanders my chairman on the hill committee to hold a hearing on this he has not. so we had a round table. we had a woman, a student from stanford come, jewish. she spoke of the anti-semitism on the stanford campus.

now, there is an office of civil rights within the department of education, which will investigate that. she did not know about this. she did not know that she could report this harassment and trigger that investigation. >> i don't think inelse really is talking about this. you know, the leader of iran, now, just they went out on x and they announced that we're so proud of all of you protesters on colleges. if iran president is now saying you are doing a great job you really should be asking myself am i on the wrong side of this issue? >> bret: yeah. senator fetterman while i have you the proposed a cease-fire today did it on shabbat and essentially it would stop going after hamas. would release all the hostages and be a permanent cease-fire. your thoughts on that proposal? >> i've been very clear. i'm going to follow israel in this situation. i do believe that hamas needs to

be destroyed and it needs to be followed to the end until there is an absolute surrender and they are able either in exile or they are brought it justice or they are eliminated. one way or another, there is not going to be any meaningful peace, so long as hamas is able to operate and if you look at all of the damage, the death and all of that. that's exactly what hamas wants. they designed that to be that way. they really don't care how many palestinians actually die in their suffering, actually, israel cares about minimizing all of the civilian deaths and all of the kinds of damage. >> bret: senator cassidy, is there more togetherness on issues on capitol hill than we know about? obviously we have been doing this segment for a long time but we don't talk about it a lot. >> i would argue there is more togetherness nationwide than people realize. most americans agree that students should not be harassed on college campuses.

most americans agree that israel after october 7th has a right to defend itself. so congress we really reflects our country. frankly conflict is what sells newspapers if you will. attracts eyeballs. so, that goes unreported. but, what john and i are doing on the issue of notifying students of their right to report being harassed to support israel, other things for children on online security, as regards the internet. that's what most americans think. and we just reflect what most americans think. >> bret: all right. most americans are thinking past the summer already to the nfl season. i have looked at the schedule. it is a week three matchup. the eagles at the saints september 22nd. do we have any predictions, senator fetterman? >> geesh, i don't know. fox really brings really difficult kinds of questions i

got to be honest i'm a steelers guy. >> bret: okay. >> so, of course, the eagles are going to win, of course. but i will be visiting my colleague state. we come to new orleans every year. over the summer we can agree it's an amazing state and beautiful city in new orleans. >> bret: there you go. senator cassidy? >> bret, of course i'm predicting the saints win. one thing we have common ground here as well, paul scenes who pitched for lsu last year is now tearing it up for the pirates. so if john is also a pirates fan there is a lot of people in louisiana rooting for the pirates. >> i actually really can't wait to watch him pitch. it's really going to be pretty exciting. >> bret: there you go common grounds across sports as well. senators, thank you so much for your time. can you see all the "common ground" segment on my podcast "common ground" find that and the all-star panel podcasts on bret baier podcasts.com spot spy or wherever you download

>> it was a rigged trial. i'm honored to be involved in it because somebody has to do it, i might as well keep going and be the one. i'm very honored to be involved because we are fighting for our constitution. >> it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict. justice should be respected and we should never allow anyone to tear it down. >> bret: former president, current president dealing with the fallout here. "wall street journal" editorial board a guilty verdict for trump and its consequences for the country. conviction sets a precedent of using legal cases no matter how sketchy to try to knock out political opponents including former presidents. mr. trump has already vowed to return the favor if democrats felt like cheering thursday when the guilty verdict was read they should think again. mr. bragg might have opened a new destabilizing era of american politics and no one can say how it will end. with that, let's bring in our

panel, mollie hemingway, editor and chief at "the federalist," byron york, chief political correspondent of "the washington examiner" and july la manchester national politics reporter for the hill. byron, thoughts? >> well, i think today was kind of a sinking in day as we all just process what has happened. i think that also includes donald trump among everybody else. it is notable that no official republican that supports trump, nobody in official capacity has at all tried to distance themself or herself from trump at all. actually the most interesting thing happened, you played that statement from president biden where it was a pretty unrationallable statement and at the end he was asked about trump's statement that he, trump is, a political prisoner, biden was walking away. gave it to the biden grin. and within about an hour or so the trump campaign had turned around a really clever ad that made biden look incredibly sinister. maybe the most interesting thing that happened today.

>> bret: julia? >> i was looking out for any political implications how operative strategist voters were responding to this. it was interesting, hours before the verdict came out, on thursday, a marist poll showed that in the case of a guilty verdict, support for trump went down, biden led in the case of a not guilty verdict trump led. so. that was interesting to watch but talking to republicans today what i have heard is that this isn't necessarily obviously it's not great for trump. this is, you know, obviously a bad thing to happen to someone, especially someone who is running for president and facing, you know, what could be a very harsh punishment. but, a lot of republicans have said this is a way for him to galvanize his base. remember, within a period of less than 24 hours after the verdict was reached, the campaign announced it raised nearly $35,000,000.29% of those

donors being new donors to the campaign that shows me that trump is essentially expanding his universe. one other thing that republicans have said is that this is a monumental news story moment in american history. this could attract outside voters. low propensity voters not involved in politics. according to the strategists they say look, those low propensity voters are more likely to vote for trump than biden. >> bret: we will see. we will follow it coming days in the polls. what about this premise, mollie, of opening the pandora's box? takes us back to 2016, after the election, trump wins, our late colleague charles krauthammer had some comments, conservative commentator at the time, this is in the hill, charles krauthammer says president-elect donald trump suggestion he would not prosecute hillary clinton over her use of an email server is akin to issuing a pardon.

president-elect told the "new york times" during a meeting tuesday that he did not want to hurt the clintons, suggesting he would not push prosecution. here he is on the show november 22nd, 2016. >> i think that's right to do it. you put that behind us, yes, there are probably offenses which are prosecutable, maybe she would be convicted, but that's not what we want to do. we do not want to see national political opponents putting each other in jail. >> it's not apples to apples, mollie but it's interesting to look back at that and it's interesting that that happened in november of 2016, which is before democrat and people in the media ran the russia collusion hoax throughout the entire trump administration. and then of course when he lost in 2020 began rounding up republicans and running show trials. we have crossed a rubicon here that is one that most americans never wanted to cross. america has for hundreds of years had moral authority. when we go and tell tyrants and

aauthor terrence no, you can't cancel elections, no, you can't put your political opponents in jail. no, you can't run show trials just because you don't like how are running against, that meant something. and now, can you imagine america going and telling people these things? after what happened? i get that democrats are extremely excited and people in new york and d.c. maybe are very excited about what happened in new york yesterday, but the consequences of this are so significant, not just in terms of how it breaks down what has held the country together in terms of a general shared respect for rule of law, but also because of what it does to impact our national security and lose our moral voice worldwide. >> bret: okay. meantime, byron, the president endorsing what he says was an israeli proposal for a permanent cease-fire. take a listen. >> >> after intensive diplomacy, carried out by my team, my many conversations with leaders of

israel, qatar and egypt and other middle eastern countries, israel has now offered -- israel has offered a comprehensive new proposal. it's a road map to an enduring cease-fire and the release of all hostages. >> bret: what do you think of that today of all days? >> well, i'm kind of putting it in the category of, get back to me when israel and hamas has reached an agreement that they both signed and acted on. so i don't think this is going anywhere. there is a huge constituency in israel to keep going with this war until hamas is destroyed that, its military and governmental capabilities are gone. and i don't think israel is going to stop until then, so, the president desperately wants to be able to present himself as making peace over there. but i think this is another one could sing, you know, kind of like the pier in gaza. >> bret: all right. so after this guilty verdict, let's take a trip down to a

place we call candidate casino. >> bret: julia, let's start with you. >> i think i originally $40. we're doing biden vs. trump. i have this 50/50. >> bret: really going out on a limb there. campaigns i want to be careful tomorrow was june 1st, we have until november. we have a presidential debate. then we have trump's sentencing. then we have the rnc and the dnc. those are going to be very eventful conventions a lot can happen between now and then. i think, obviously, this election is going to come down to the wire with these two candidates. >> bret: all right, mollie. >> i would have been closer to where julia was prior to what happened yesterday. but i think that americans are so horrified by what they saw and with this general democrat

campaign of using. this greatly increased the odds that president trump will win in november. and it wasn't just that big fundraising haul that julia talked about with republicans. we saw so many independents and democrats say i don't even like donald trump but a country that has this kind of lawfare is so much worse and threw their support that way. >> bret: byron? >> i have got trump $55 and biden $45. and i have to say if the rules allowed me to do $50 and 50 cents and $49.50. i probably would have done that. >> bret: it's going to be close at least we think so at this point. we have a long way and bumpy ride to november 5th. panel, thanks, we will do winners and losers next time. ♪ ♪ >> bret: okay, it's friday. that's the sound for friday time for "notable quotables."

>> the special day tonight and sun will align with the street grid. >> this is a dark day gets in. supreme already acquitted donald trump. >> the only voice that matters is the voice of the jury. >> the real verdict is going to be november 5th. >> donald trump refers to himself as a political prisoner and a what's your response to that, sir? >> no matter how you think about politics. this is history in the making. >> there was a tragic failure. >> red line president laid out? >> as i said, we don't want to see a major ground operation. we haven't seen that at this point. >> hallie biden is a key government witness who allegedly disposed of a gun that hunter is accused of buying illegally.

president biden was at her house. >> this was not about that. >> these warriors fought for our freedom and the freedom of others. freedom has never been guaranteed. >> we know you live with loss every day and not just memorial day.
