Joe Biden reacts to Trump’s guilty verdict
As previously reported by The Shadow Room, Donnie was found guilty on all 34 counts in the case. The court ruled that Trump falsified business records after paying an adult film star, Stormy Daniels.
The 77-year-old is officially a convicted felon, but remains eligible to run for president. After the verdict was read, Trump told reporters that the trial was “manipulated”. He said it was “all done by Biden and his people.” However, there is no evidence that the president or anyone in his administration was involved.
During Joe’s speech, he assured the American people that the trial was fair and legal. The Commander-in-Chief stated: “It’s reckless, it’s dangerous, it’s irresponsible for someone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like the verdict.”
“Our justice system has been around for almost 250 years and is literally the cornerstone of America,” Joe argued.
Furthermore, the President stated that the hotel magnate “he had every opportunity to defend himself.” He continued, “A state case, not a federal case, was tried by a jury of 12 citizens. Twelve people like you, like millions of Americans who have served on juries.”
He said there was nothing different about Trump’s jury selection than in any other case. Joe said the jurors “I heard five weeks of evidence. Five weeks, after careful deliberation, the jury reached a unanimous verdict.”
