President Joe Biden accurately labeled former President Donald Trump as a “convicted felon” at a Connecticut fundraising event, perhaps signaling an aggressive campaign approach following Trump’s 34 guilty verdicts last week.
“For the first time in American history, a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency,” Biden said at a fundraising event in Greenwich, Connecticut, according to multiple reports. “But as disturbing as that is, more damaging is the all-out assault Donald Trump is making on the American system of justice.”
Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in his New York hush money trial over payments to adult film actor Stormy Daniels. Biden briefly commented on Trump’s conviction Friday, saying, “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 told reporters at the White House last week.
According to an NBC News report, Biden repeated that note Monday night:
Biden made similar remarks Monday, saying, “It’s reckless and dangerous for anyone to say that’s rigged just because they don’t like” the outcome.
