Biden Stare: President laughs and shuffles off when asked about Trump guilty conviction

President Joe Biden said on Friday that it was dangerous for people to question the integrity of the guilty verdict in Donald Trump's hush‑money jury trial. In his first public comments since a New York jury on Thursday found Trump guilty on 34 counts over a payment to silence a porn star ahead of the 2016 election, Biden struck hard at Trump and other Republicans who criticized the verdict. He noted that the case against Trump in New York was brought by the state, was not a federal case, and that the verdict was delivered by a jury of 12 citizens, 12 Americans, 12 people like you. Biden said the U.S. justice system has endured for nearly 250 years and criticized Trump and his supporters for attempting to tear it down with false allegations, calling it reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible for anyone to say the verdict was rigged just because they don't like it. Earlier on Friday, in rambling remarks at the Trump Tower lobby in Manhattan, Trump repeated his complaints that the trial was an attempt to hobble his comeback White House bid and said it showed that no American was safe from politically motivated prosecution. 'If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone,' Trump said in an unscripted 33‑minute speech.
