President Joe Biden blasted Republican opponent Donald Trump’s attacks on a New York court that found him guilty in a criminal trial over hush-money payments, arguing they threaten to destabilize the US legal system.
“It’s reckless, it’s dangerous, it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged, just because they don’t like the verdict,” Biden said Friday in the State Dining Room of the White House. “Our justice system should be respected. We should never allow anyone to tear it down.”
