♪ thanked his supporters, gathered outside his manhattan apartment after the historic verdict. i'm a very innocent man and it's okay. i'm fighting for our country. i'm fighting for our constitution, our whole country. so what's next? can he still run for president? will he go to prison? and is he still coming to san francisco next week? yes. mr. trump is not above the law, but at the same time to treat

him in the same way as an average citizen when he's running for president is something that is very challenging for a court. and what impact will this guilty verdict have on the election in november? which is just a few months away? the folks we always watch for in this kind of situation are the independents. which way will they go on unprecedented day in american history? for the first time ever, a former president has been convicted in a felony criminal case. we have been asking a lot of questions throughout the evening, and tonight we have answers. let's start with nbc bay area's jocelyn moran with the very latest. jocelyn. yeah. ross jessica, these are questions many of us are asking ourselves because this has never happened before. the former president could face anywhere from a fine to four years in prison. experts say yes, this verdict showed no one is above the law. but at the same time, the fact that he is the leading republican nominee in the upcoming election will likely be a factor moving forward. mr. president, how do

you feel that's former president donald trump waving briefly as he exited a private residence in new york tonight. sources tell nbc news he attended a fundraiser just hours after he became the first american president to be convicted of a crime. trump immediately went back to trump tower tomorrow morning. he's expected to hold a press conference there, but he's already made his feelings about the trial clear. he did so outside of the courtroom in manhattan. it's a rigged trial, a disgrace. they wouldn't give us a venue change. we didn't do a thing wrong. i'm a very innocent man, and it's okay. i'm fighting for our country. trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment to adult film actor stormy daniels near the end of the 2016 presidential campaign. the verdict came on the second day of deliberations. every day, jurors vowed to make a decision based on the evidence and the law and the evidence and the law alone. what comes next is very important. legal analyst

stephen clark says. there will likely be an appeal from trump's team, but all eyes will be on july 11th when sentencing is expected. no one is above the law in the united states, and that was spoken very clearly by this jury. but at the same time, you are talking about the leading presidential candidate of a political party. can you put a former president who is currently running for office in jail, along with the secret service that goes with him, probably not. clark also doesn't expect trump to show any remorse . i think he will continue to go after this case as a witch hunt and political prosecution, as opposed to a legitimate legal criminal case, and clark says the court may likely give him probation and nothing further. but he thinks the message has been sent. no one is above the law, jessica. all right. thank you. jocelyn. given today's verdict, many voters are asking, can donald trump still run for the presidency? nbc bay area's

pizzolato spoke with both legal experts and political analysts to see how today's verdict will impact mr. trump's presidential run. reporter it's a just a disgrace. reporter with former president donald trump being found guilty on all 34 felony counts, he's now the first president in american history to be convicted of a felony. however, constitutional law experts say that despite the historic nature of today's ruling, mr. trump can still run for president this coming november. legally, there's no bar on him holding office. the constitution sets very minimal requirements. you just got to be over 35 and a natural born citizen. there's nothing about these offenses that would disqualify him from running or serving as president. but they also understand this is uncharted territory for a presidential nominee. trump's home state of florida bars anyone convicted of a state felony from voting. but since he was convicted in new york, he will likely be able to vote for himself unless he's in prison. on election day. and if trump

were to become president, he would not be able to pardon himself. since this is a states case. during our 7 p.m. newscast, we spoke with san jose state university political professor melinda jackson about the impact of today's ruling for trump when it comes to potential swing voters and for those voters who may be more moderate, independent, having a felony conviction is going to make them sit up and pay attention, i think. and with mr. trump's sentencing more than a month away, it will be up to a judge to determine if the former president should serve time behind bars. but legal experts aren't sure if that will be the case. however, if the former president does serve time in prison, it could set the stage for another unprecedented moment in american history, more likely would be a suspended sentence and perhaps a significant fine, now, jail, jail or prison is possible, but we won't know until justice mershon tells us in july. pete cerritos nbc, bay area news the biden-harris campaign also releasing a

statement today, it reads in part, today's verdict does not change the fact that the american people face a simple reality. there is still only one way to keep donald trump out of the oval office at the ballot box, convicted felon or not, trump will be the republican nominee for president. the california republican party also releasing a statement calling today's verdict a dark day for the justice system. quote despite democratic led efforts to interfere with the presidential election, americans will have the final say in november when they reelect president trump outside the courthouse. news spread fast when that verdict was read. guilty a large crowd gathered in manhattan and had a lot to say and shout. the crowd, made up of both pro and anti-trump spectators, some of them from overseas, even tourists took time out of sightseeing to watch one of the biggest cases in u.s. history unfold outside trump tower. some heated

confrontations this evening. more than 100 people, mostly trump supporters, gathered there. despite a few verbal arguments. no physical violence. well, the former president is trying to flip the script, turning this guilty verdict into a fundraising opportunity and a way to energize his base. mr. trump is forging ahead with a packed campaign schedule that includes a fundraiser next week in san francisco. let's bring in nbc's gia vang in the city with the late details. gia well, raj remember the trial required trump to sit in court every day for much of the past two months. and now that it is over, he is free to travel to different fundraising events across the country while he awaits his sentencing. moments after former president trump's guilty verdict, he bashed what he called a rigged trial and partly used it as a quick campaign speech. the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people, the presumptive gop nominee, referencing the

presidential election and his bay area supporters like lawyer harmeet dhillon, echoing his sentiments. i do hope for an appellate clean up of this disgrace and a complete reversal of this completely ridiculous decision. trump will be sentenced on july 11th, days before the republican national convention. but first, he'll make a stop in san francisco's pacific heights neighborhood thursday. harmeet will be there. people are calling me asking how they can donate. ceos are shocked and appalled, and i think that it is backfiring and there's going to be a lot of support for president trump out of sympathy. trump's campaign team claims donations started pouring in within moments of the guilty verdict, enough that the donation website crashed intermittently, though political analyst larry gerston says money doesn't always matter. of course, his followers will vote for him no matter what. his detractors will vote against him, no matter what. and the folks who always watch for in this kind of situation are the independents. which way will they go? that's the same question san francisco democratic central committee

member j2 has. she says the historic verdict speaks for itself and is direct on trump's fundraising stop in the city. yeah, i mean, it's very clear. i mean, he is not welcomed here. this is a very blue city and we have never supported trump, and we will never be for trump. and especially after this. so this a historic day in which a former president is now convicted of felony crimes. it really shows that no one is above the law. and i think it really shows that , that democrats really have to rally together and vote for biden because we cannot afford a convicted felon to be our president in san francisco, gia vang nbc bay area news michael cohen, mr. trump's former personal attorney, played a huge role in the trial as the key witness for the prosecution. speaking out against his former boss this evening, he appeared exclusively on msnbc. were you surprised by the verdict? no i was not. i've spoken. i've been on so many of the shows on msnbc, and i've told you all

along that the facts speak for themselves, the documents speak for themselves. i've listened to so many pundits come on the various shows, including some of the hosts talking about x, y, and z. they couldn't be further from the truth. cole went on to say that no one is above the law. in 2018, he pled guilty to campaign finance violations and other charges, saying president trump directed him to arrange the hush money payment for stormy daniels. he served three years, mostly in home confinement. our coverage of this story continues on nbcbayarea.com. we have an entire section dedicated to it. click on donald trump tab in the trending bar. you can also read more about the hush money case as well as reaction to today's verdict and what happens next. we are back in 60s up next, he was convicted three decades ago for the murder of 12 year old polly klaas. why one of california's most infamous killers, richard allen davis, is due back in court tomorrow. plus

williams. he's a dog walker who has received racist threats over the last few weeks. before that fire, williams family tells us that police have a possible suspect for the racist messages before the fire, but no arrests have been made. investigators have not said if the fire is related to the racist incidents. one of california's most notorious convicted killers is trying to overturn his death sentence. tomorrow, a santa clara county judge is expected to make a ruling. richard allen davis was convicted of the 1993 kidnaping and murder of 12 year old polly klaas in petaluma. klaas was kidnaped during a slumber party at her mother's home, her body found two months later in sonoma county. 79 year old davis was sentenced to death back in 1996, but now his lawyers are arguing that a 2022 california law invalid dates his sentencing enhancements for prior felony convictions, entitling him to a full resentencing. prosecutors argue that that law does not apply to his death sentence. an escaped

but still plenty of warm air with us here as we look ahead into the forecast. now, what we had happen today was this area of high pressure over the pacific helping to bring in that warm air. but tomorrow the storm track is going to move a little bit more off to the south. it's going to take some of that heat and move it south of the bay area. so temperatures are going to drop off a couple of degrees. and we're also tracking what could be some unusual rainfall across the west. let me get you those details right now in your microclimate forecast. and here we go friday morning tgif. we're going to start it off here. mostly sunny. just a chance of a little bit of fog right up against the immediate coastline. temperatures in the mid 50s here for a lot of the south bay and peninsula tri valley at 57 over to san francisco. got you to 53 and 54 in the east bay. so by all accounts a pretty nice morning here as you roll yourself out the door and gear up for the weekend ahead as we move through tomorrow's temperatures. even though it's going to drop off a couple degrees, we're still on the warm side here. i think it's going to

be a nice day down in south bay. 85 in cupertino 87, los gatos 86. here in san jose over to the east bay. still may get up to a couple of low 90s in antioch, brentwood, discovery bay. but then you're down a few degrees here walnut creek, danville and pleasanton in the upper 80s and over to hayward. 78 cold at the beaches remain with that chilly breeze. 59 in half moon bay and down to redwood city, 80. palo alto 84, san francisco, some 70s. here in downtown. up to the marina, though at chilly 63. let's move it off to the north bay. have you had 86 in santa rosa, 79 in mill valley. so numbers go down a couple degrees tomorrow we're going to look for some larger changes this weekend. i do see it dropping several more degrees with some low 80s here in concord. and we're going to surge back up to another quick blast here. some heat by next tuesday, wednesday and thursday and some 90s and then eventually a drop for the following weekend. but look at this by next monday, possibly 79, in concord. so as we get down to those cooler

temperatures, we're seeing a storm system off to the north. this is unusual by all accounts, even though seattle and portland are used to a lot of rainfall. we're talking about a record setting amount. so this is by sunday and into monday. we're going to be on the bottom edge of this storm system. rain gets close by monday afternoon. i'm still calling it dry, but we will get into quite a bit of cloud cover here. and of course we're watching it closely. but look at these rainfall totals. i mean, we're talking about what could be 2 to 3in for parts of the pacific northwest. so if that rain line were to move a little bit more to the south, we'd be talking about some rainfall right now. again, though, we're keeping it dry. but we'll have more updates in the days ahead. if you're doing any traveling, dallas is going to be the spot where we could get into some more strong and severe weather that could delay flights right here into san francisco. on the 7-day forecast monday. those clouds roll in and we'll be at 69. and for the inland valleys might feel kind of strange on monday with the clouds and 80 degrees. so that is going to be one to watch. but i know everybody else is also

watching that weekend, which i think is coming in pretty nice at this point. that weekend really starts in about 40 minutes. it's going to i'm glad you've declared that even though we still have friday to go, i'm on board. thanks, jeff. all right, up next, another month, another record for real estate here in the bay area. the threshold the two counties just crossed. and we have jimmy. hey, everyone. tariq and i are playing reverse charades with anne hathaway, melanie lynskey. how's that for a
