 Trump says if he is jailed that could be 'breaking point' for Americans
==========

Donald Trump said he would accept home confinement or jail time after his conviction by a New York jury last week but that it would be "tough" for the public to accept. Trump did not elaborate on what he thought might happen if that point is reached. Trump has used his conviction to step up his fundraising efforts but has not otherwise sought to mobilize his supporters. The RNC and the Trump campaign raised $70 million in the 48 hours after the verdict. Trump has vowed to appeal his conviction by the New York jury. Trump still faces three other criminal cases, although they are not likely to come to trial before the election. Biden has sought to defend the nation's justice system, saying it is "reckless" and "dangerous" to call the verdict "rigged." Trump attorney Will Scharf told ABC News' "This Week" that he does not expect Trump to "end up being subject to any sentence whatsoever" and planned to take the case to the Supreme Court.
