President Joe Biden condemned former President Donald Trump’s recent attacks on the criminal justice system following Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts. Speaking from the White House, Biden emphasized the importance of respecting the justice system, calling it the “cornerstone of America.”
Reacting to Trump’s criticisms, Biden stated, “Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, and it literally is the cornerstone of America, our justice system. The justice system should be respected. And we should never allow anyone to tear it down.” He described Trump’s and his supporters’ responses to the verdict as “reckless” and “irresponsible.”These remarks mark Biden’s first public response since Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records in connection with hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. Biden’s comments underscore the broader political implications as the 2024 presidential campaign unfolds, highlighting the tension between upholding legal integrity and navigating partisan divides.
