The morning after his historic felony conviction, former President Trump is set to address reporters at an 11 a.m. ET press conference.

Trump will speak from the atrium of Trump Tower, just feet away from the golden escalator he rode down in 2015 when he kicked off his first bid for president.

Now, nearly nine years later, Trump is expected to address to his conviction and the legal battle he faces amid his third presidential bid.

Campaign officials and some supporters are also expected to be present.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the New York Police Department will protect peaceful protest in the wake of Trump's conviction -- but not "lawlessness."

"Today, a jury of 12 New Yorkers registered their verdict," Adams' statement read. "Our criminal justice process must be respected. As we await the next steps, New Yorkers should rest assured that the NYPD stands ready to respond to any and all circumstances, including large-scale protests. While peaceful protests and assembly will always be protected, we will not be a city of any form of lawlessness."

At a post-verdict news conference, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the case against Trump, thanked the jurors.

"We should all be thankful for the careful attention that this jury paid to the evidence and the law, and their time and commitment over these past several weeks," Bragg said.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg speaks after Trump found guilty in hush money trial

Former President Donald Trump called his trial "rigged" after being found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records.

"Twelve everyday New Yorkers, and of course our alternates, heard testimony from 22 witnesses, including former and current employees of the defendant, media executives, book publishers, custodians of records and others. They reviewed call logs, text messages and emails. They heard recordings. They saw checks and invoices, bank statements and calendar appointments," Bragg said.

"Their deliberations led them to a unanimous conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt," Bragg said.

"While this defendant may be unlike any other in American history, we arrived at this trial -- and ultimately today at this verdict -- in the same manner as every other case that comes through the courtroom doors: by following the facts and the law, and doing so without fear or favor," Bragg said.

When former President Donald Trump returned to Trump Tower after court, he greeted those standing outside the Midtown building, waving and pumping his fist.

In a written statement, Trump called Judge Juan Merchan "corrupt" and twice called him "conflicted."

"This was a rigged decision right from Day 1," Trump said.

"We didn't do a thing wrong. I'm a very innocent man," he said.

Trump will attend a fundraiser in New York Thursday night for his 2024 campaign. The former president will stay at Trump Tower Thursday night, then is scheduled to hold a news conference there at 11 a.m. ET Friday.
