Out front next, Trump's next move, a former president vowing to appeal his conviction while his lawyer's way whether to move his sentencing date, Michael Cohen is my guest.

Plus, Christy Noem is out front on the verdict. Would she be on the GOP ticket with a convicted felon?

And the people who have been jailed for the same crime as Trump.

Who are they? And what do their stories tell us about his fate?

Let's go out front.

Good evening. I'm Erin Burnett. And out front tonight, Trump plotting his next move.

The former president and now convicted felon at Bedminster, New Jersey, his home there after spending the day with his family, Ivanka, Jared, Melania, and Barron, all four noticeably absent during Trump's historic

trial. And at a press conference or a speech today, Melania noticeably not present. The private

show of support comes as Trump's legal team has just weeks to file a sentencing memo.

And the memo is obviously crucial because it's when lawyers would make the case for a lighter

sentence. In this case, of course, a jury found Trump guilty on 34 criminal counts of falsifying

business records. And there's uncertainty about whether the sentencing will actually happen on

July 11th as it was initially scheduled by Judge Mershan. Trump's attorneys are weighing whether to push that sentencing will actually happen on July 11th as it was initially scheduled by Judge

Mershan. Trump's attorneys are weighing whether to push that sentencing back or whether to try to

push it back, right? They've got to get a request and see if that would pass. So this is what

they're debating behind closed doors. Of course, in public, Trump is trying to appear defiant.

Nearly nine years to the day that he came down the

escalator to launch his presidential campaign with Melania Trump. Today, he returned to the lobby

of Trump Tower, down that escalator. She was upstairs. She did not come with him. And he came down

enraged, slamming the case that has now made him a convicted felon.

It was a rig trial.

We wanted a venue change where we could have a fair trial.
