The two leading presidential candidates traded remarks on Friday, a day after former President Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to influence the 2016 election.
Trump once again claimed his historic hush money trial was "rigged" after he was found guilty in a Manhattan court — but President Biden said the verdict proves "that no one is above the law."
"Donald Trump was given every opportunity to defend himself," Biden told reporters hours after Trump spoke from Trump Tower, where he maintained his innocence and slammed Judge Juan Merchan, Biden and prosecutors, among others.
While both presidents have shared opposing responses to the guilty verdict, there's one thing they do agree on: that this November's presidential election will be monumentally important. Trump said the "real verdict" will come on Election Day, while Biden's camp warned, "There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box."
After deliberating over two days, a New York jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts related to a $130,000 payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The prosecution had alleged Daniels was paid to keep secret a 2006 tryst she had with Trump in order to influence the results of the 2016 election, which Trump ultimately won.
Trump vowed to appeal the verdict. His sentencing has been scheduled for July 11.
