  • Trump just gave an angry post-conviction speech.
  • Trump called star witness Michael Cohen a "sleazebag" and "one of the worst people" to testify.
  • Trump is still under a gag order not to attack witnesses as he plans to appeal his 34 felony convictions.

It didn't take long for Donald Trump's press conference after his felony convictions to go off the rails.

Trump launched into a free-wheeling speech on Friday, insulting President Joe Biden and spreading conspiracy theories about terrorists crossing the US border.

But most notably, Trump ranted against key prosecution witness and his former lawyer Michael Cohen, risking another violation of the judge's orders in his hush-money case.
