‘No one above the law’, Biden hopes Trump verdict speaks for itself

  


President Joe Biden’s campaign has said Donald Trump’s conviction by a New York court on Thursday shows that “no one is above the law”.

 

Trump was found guilty of all 34 counts he faced on charges of falsifying business records to commit election fraud.

 

This makes the 77-year-old the first ex-American president to be criminally convicted.

 

A statement signed by Michael Tyler, the Biden-Harris campaign communications director, said: “In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law.

 

“But today’s verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality.

 

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

 The White House was even less keen to get its hands dirty after the former occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was convicted on all 34 counts in his hush money case.

 

“We respect the rule of law, and have no additional comment,” Ian Sams, White House Counsel’s Office spokesperson, said in a curt statement.

 

From Biden himself there was no comment on Thursday.

Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11.
