Biden Criticizes Trump's Claims of Rigged Trial as "Dangerous" and "Reckless"

US President Joe Biden has publicly defended the US justice system following the guilty verdict in the trial of his predecessor, Donald Trump. Biden stated that it is "reckless", "dangerous", and "irresponsible" to claim that the trial was rigged simply because one does not like the outcome. He emphasized that the American principle of no one being above the law has been reaffirmed, and that Trump was given every opportunity to defend himself during the trial. Biden also noted that the case was a state-level prosecution, rather than a federal one.
