Donald Trump lashes out over his trial that made him the first former US president to become a convicted felon in a press conference at Trump Tower. Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over his trial, is a "devil," Trump says, claiming that Merchan "literally crucified" witnesses. "I would have testified, I wanted to testify," adds Trump, saying, "the judge allowed them to go into everything that I was ever involved in." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
