He called the jury's verdict rigged: Biden reacts to Donald Trump

U.S. President Biden made remarks regarding the "hush money" trial in which Trump was found guilty during a press conference at the White House.

Biden characterized Trump's claims that the verdict was "rigged and unlawful" by stating, "It's irresponsible, it's dangerous, and it's reckless for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict."

Noting that the foundations of the American legal system are solid and must be respected, Biden argued that Trump is attempting to score political points through the legal system.

Stating that Trump was tried "fairly" just like everyone else and reminding that the verdict in question will be appealed by Trump, Biden emphasized that the former president is exercising all his legal rights equally in this matter.

WHAT HAPPENED?

It was announced that whether former U.S. President Donald Trump, who was found guilty by a jury on all charges in the "hush money" trial in New York the other day, will receive a prison sentence will be determined at the hearing on July 11.

Arguing that the verdict was rigged and unlawful, Trump had said, "If they can do this to me, they can do it to anyone. These are bad people. In many cases, I believe these are sick people."

Claiming that the verdict against him was reached with political bias, Trump stated, "They are in full cooperation with the White House and the Department of Justice. This is all being done by (Joe) Biden and perhaps his people."

TRUMP'S "HUSH MONEY" TRIAL

U.S. President Trump was indicted by a grand jury on March 18, 2023, as part of an investigation conducted by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office regarding an illegal "hush money" payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.

Trump appeared before a judge in New York on April 4, 2023, for "hush money" and falsifying business records related to it. Denying the 34 separate charges against him, Trump described the allegations as a "political witch hunt" and stated that he viewed the charges as "election interference."

Following a 6-week trial in New York, Trump was found guilty by a jury yesterday on all 34 counts.

Thus, Trump went down in history as the "first former president" in U.S. history to stand trial and be found guilty by a jury due to charges brought against him.

The hearing to determine the sentence to be given to Trump will be held on July 11.
