convicted on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records. And right now, the former president is on his way to San Francisco for a fundraiser tonight. And for the last few hours, a couple hundred of his supporters have been rallying near Fort Mason and that's where we find NBC Bay Area's Sergio Quintana. Live there right now. I understand it's really loud. Sergio, if you could tell us what you're seeing. Seeing and hearing this is kind of been what's been going on here for the last three hours or so. Not only people with the flags, but lots of people coming by in loud vehicles and honking lots of horns. I'll go ahead and step out of the way here so that you can see the group of supporters that are here, probably about a couple hundred of them or so, they are definitely fired up about the former president's visit.
