President Joe Biden on Friday said that Donald Trump’s conviction in the hush money trial reaffirmed “the American principle that no one is above the law.”

Speaking from the White House, Biden said the jury consisted of regular Americans who heard evidence and returned a unanimous verdict. “Donald Trump was given every opportunity to defend himself,” Biden said. “A state case, not a federal case, was heard by a jury of 12 citizens. Twelve Americans. Twelve people like you, like millions of Americans who served on juries.

“They found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts.” Biden said Trump would now have the opportunity to appeal the decision because “that’s how the American system of justice works.” “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, taking Trump and his supporters’ words directly. “Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, and it literally is the cornerstone of America.
