The president of the United States, Joe Biden, said this Friday in reference to the guilty verdict received by the former president donald trump (2017-2021) that “no one is above the law” and considered “reckless and dangerous” that this suggests that the decision was rigged.
“It is reckless, dangerous and irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like the verdict.“He said from the White House in an intervention announced this Friday and which aimed to talk about the situation in the Middle East.
Biden spoke a day after Trump’s criminal trial in New York found him guilty of all 34 charges he faced for falsifying business records to silence a relationship he had with porn actress Stormy Daniels.
The Democratic president maintained that Trump has the opportunity to appeal the verdict, “Like any other person”: “This is how the American judicial system works”.
Just after learning the verdict, the former Republican president on Thursday considered himself a “political prisoner” and this Friday at a press conference in New York he dedicated a large part of his words to discussing the legality of the trial and indicated that he will appeal it, alleging among other points that Judge Juan Merchan prevented him from speaking on numerous occasions.
“Our court system is almost 250 years old and is literally the cornerstone of America. The justice system must be respected and we must never allow anyone to tear it down. That is America, that is what we are and what we will always be, God willing.”Biden added.
The president stressed that the jury reached a unanimous verdict, it was made up of 12 ordinary American citizens, and that their choice was the same as follows:with all jurors in the United States”.
“The American principle that no one is above the law was reaffirmed. Donald Trump had every opportunity to defend himself. It was a state case, not a federal case“Biden stressed about his foreseeable rival in the presidential elections next November.
