President Biden\u2019s 2024 re-election campaign says the unanimous guilty verdicts Thursday in former President Trump\u2019s criminal trial show that \u2018no one is above the law.\u2019<\/p>\n

Trump was found guilty by a jury in New York City on all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records in his history-making case in which a former or current president for the first time was tried in court.<\/p>\n

\u2018Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain,\u2019 Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement minutes after the verdict was read in court.<\/p>\n

But Tyler emphasized that \u2018today\u2019s 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. Convicted felon or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president.\u2019<\/p>\n

Tyler charged that \u2018the threat Trump poses to our democracy has never been greater. He is running an increasingly unhinged campaign of revenge and retribution, pledging to be a dictator \u2018on day one\u2019 and calling for our Constitution to be \u2018terminated\u2019 so he can regain and keep power.\u2019<\/p>\n

And he argued that \u2018a second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans\u2019 freedoms and fomenting political violence \u2013 and the American people will reject it this November.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Biden campaign was also quick to fundraiser off the verdict.<\/p>\n

\u2018Despite a jury finding Donald Trump guilty today, there is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: At the ballot box,\u2019 the Biden campaign wrote in a fundraising text to supporters. \u2018If you have been waiting for the perfect time to make your first donation to Joe Biden\u2019s reelection campaign, we\u2019re here to tell you today is the day.\u2019<\/p>\n

Trump, speaking to cameras following the verdict, called it \u2018disgraceful,\u2019 charged that the trial was \u2018rigged,\u2019 and said the \u2018real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people,\u2019 as he pointed to his presidential election rematch with Biden.<\/p>\n

\u2018The whole thing was rigged from day one \u2014 from the venue to the judge,\u2019 Trump added in an exclusive interview with Fox News\u2019 Brooke Singman.<\/p>\n

The former president plans to hold a news conference at 11am ET on Friday.<\/p>\n

Trump was charged with falsifying business records in relation to payments during the 2016 election that he made to Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about his alleged affair with the adult film actress. Trump\u2019s former attorney, Michael Cohen, paid Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, $130,000 in return for her silence about allegations of an affair with Trump in 2006. Prosecutors argued that this amounted to illegally seeking to influence the 2016 election.<\/p>\n

Both Cohen and Daniels testified for the prosecution and were grilled by Trump\u2019s attorneys during cross-examination in a case that has grabbed tons of attention on the cable news networks, online and on social media.<\/p>\n

The former president repeatedly denied falsifying business records as well as the alleged sexual encounter with Daniels, and he has repeatedly claimed, without providing evidence, that the case was \u2018prosecuted directly from the inner halls of the White House and DOJ.\u2019<\/p>\n

Trump was also fined a couple of times and threatened with jail by the judge in the case for violating a gag order aimed at protecting witnesses and jurors from the former president\u2019s verbal attacks.<\/p>\n

During the course of the month and a half trial, the president stayed mostly silent regarding the case to avoid any perceptions of interference. It appeared to be an effort to combat Trump\u2019s repeated unsubstantiated allegations that it was a \u2018SHAM TRIAL instigated and prosecuted directly from the inner halls of the White House and DOJ [Department of Justice].\u2019<\/p>\n

But the Biden campaign on Tuesday held a news conference outside the courthouse in Lower Manhattan, which appeared to be a major break with their strategy over the past six weeks of steering clear of the case.<\/p>\n

Similar to what the Trump campaign had been doing for the duration of the trial, the Biden team came equipped with high-profile surrogates. They were actor and Biden supporter Robert De Niro \u2013 who last week voiced a campaign ad for the president \u2013 and former police officers Harry Dunn and Michael Fanone, who fought back against pro-Trump rioters during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n

The move by the campaign came as Biden currently trails Trump both in national polling and in public opinion surveys in most of the crucial battleground states that will likely decide their election rematch.<\/p>\n

The Biden campaign says the surprise news conference may be a taste of things to come. Officials confirmed to Fox News they will continue \u2018to look for opportunities to drive our message.\u2019<\/p>\n

Two questions have yet to be answered: how aggressively will the Biden campaign label Trump a \u2018convicted felon\u2019 and how and where will the president address the outcome of the trial? No formal remarks from Biden have been announced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
