Washington, DC – President Joe Biden criticized former President Donald Trump’s accusations of a rigged trial following Trump’s historic conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Biden reaffirmed the principle that no one is above the law, defending the US justice system.
Speaking at a White House news conference, Biden emphasized that Trump was given ample opportunity to defend himself before a jury of 12 American citizens. He called Trump’s claims of a rigged trial reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible, urging respect for the justice system as the cornerstone of America.
In response, Trump continued to denounce the trial as rigged and politically motivated, vowing to appeal the verdict. He accused Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of unfair treatment, labeling the trial a sham and a witch hunt.
Both Biden and Trump are now focusing on fundraising efforts for their campaigns following the verdict. Biden utilized social media to solicit donations, warning of Trump’s threats to democracy. Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign reported a significant increase in fundraising following the guilty verdict, predominantly from small donors.
As the political tension escalates, with both sides seeking support for their causes, the fallout from Trump’s conviction continues to reverberate across the nation. Supporters on each side are rallying behind their respective leaders, setting the stage for potentially contentious future political battles.
