President Joe Biden on Friday defended a New York jury’s decision to find Donald Trump guilty on 34 criminal counts of falsifying business records, as well as the former president’s right to appeal.
But Biden also responded to Trump’s many gripes about the trial, calling it “irresponsible” to deem the case “rigged.”
Trump used a morning press conference in Manhattan to rail against the verdict reached Thursday, the jury and Judge Juan Merchan, who he called a “devil.”
