Trump again called that trial ‘rigged’ and blamed Biden

While Trump left the court holding his son Eric Trump’s hand, he looked straight at Judge Merchan’s face and tried to say something.

Outside the courthouse, the former president again called the trail against him a “disgrace” and a “rigged” one.

“This was a disgrace,” he shouted. “This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt.”

The 45th US president had no words against Biden, saying, “Our whole country is being rigged right now. This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent.”

“We will fight for our Constitution. This is long from over,” he said while leaving. “We don’t have the same country anymore, we have a divided mess.”

Trump looked sober

Trump appears significantly less animated than usual as he delivers the familiar lines that have characterized his hallway remarks throughout much of the trial. He seems more sober and subdued, however a glum look can be spotted on his face.

With Trump’s unprecedented felony conviction on Thursday, a Biden’s campaign spokesman lauded: “No one is above the law.”

“There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box,” the spokesperson said.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg took no time to post the the new on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “Today, a jury found Donald J. Trump GUILTY on ALL 34 felony counts.”

The hush-money trial judge has scheduled a sentencing hearing for July 11 at 10 a.m. ET.
