President Joe Biden Breaks Silence On Donald Trump's Guilty Verdict

Former President Donald Trump has been found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a 2016 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Following Donald Trump's guilty verdict, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, has broken his silence.

"This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent," Trump told the press shortly after the verdict was read. "And I think it’s just a disgrace, and we’ll keep fighting and fighting till the end and we’ll win because our country has gone to hell."

"We don’t have the same country anymore. We have a divided mess," he continued. "We’re a nation in decline, serious decline, millions and millions of people pouring into our country right now from prisons and from mental institutions, terrorists, and they’re taking over our country."

This makes Trump the first president in history to be convicted of a crime. Despite being a convicted criminal, Donald Trump can still run for President. Trump's sentencing has now been scheduled for July 11, 2024.

Biden-Harris Communications Director Michael Tyler released a statement. "In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law."

"Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain," the statement continued. "But today's verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality. There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box. Convicted felon or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for President."

Tyler continued on behalf of Biden and Harris, "The threat Trump poses to our democracy has never been greater. He is running an increasingly unhinged campaign of revenge and retribution, pledging to be a dictator 'on day one' and calling for our Constitution to be 'terminated' so he can regain and keep power."

"A second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans' freedoms and fomenting political violence -- and the American people will reject it this November," the statement concluded.

District Attorney Alvin Bragg released the following statement after Donald Trump was found guilty:

"Donald Trump is guilty of repeatedly and fraudulently falsifying business records in a scheme to conceal damaging information from American voters during the 2016 presidential election.

Over the course of the past several weeks, a jury of 12 every day New Yorkers was presented with overwhelming evidence – including invoices, checks, bank statements, audio recordings, phone logs, text messages, and direct testimony from 22 witnesses – that proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Trump illegally falsified 34 New York business records. Mr. Trump went to illegal lengths to lie repeatedly in order to protect himself and his campaign.

In Manhattan, we follow the facts without fear or favor and have a solemn responsibility to ensure equal justice under the law regardless of the background, wealth or power of the accused. The integrity of our judicial system depends on upholding that principle."

Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., also spoke out about his father's guilty verdict.

"Obviously [it's] just a sad day for America," Trump Jr. said. "Crazy what's going on in this country. Obviously [no one was] probably expecting anything different with this jury, with this biased judge, whose daughter is profiteering from this stuff."

"The Democrats have succeeded in their years-long quest to turn our country into an absolute cr-p hole," he later added. "They've done that. They've been trying for a long time. There's literally no other way about it at this point."

Trump Jr. later called the verdict "election interference."

Throughout the five-week trial, multiple individuals testified, including Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, and former adult film star, Stormy Daniels.

After two days of deliberations, the jury, consisting of seven men and six women from New York, concluded that Trump had falsified records to conceal the real purpose of funds provided to Michael D. Cohen.
