Former President Donald Trump, in the midst of his ongoing criminal trial, voiced strong criticism against President Joe Biden, stating that Biden “should be in jail” and “on trial.” Trump’s remarks came as he left court after the third day of his highly publicized trial in New York.
Standing in the courthouse hallway, Trump addressed the press, holding a stack of news articles from various media outlets. He denounced the case against him as “very unfair” and characterized it as a “spectacle” that the “whole world is watching.”
Trump specifically targeted Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, labeling him as “out of control,” and questioned the impartiality of Judge Juan Merchan presiding over the case, whom he described as “highly conflicted.”
Throughout his comments, Trump reiterated his belief that Biden should face legal consequences, alleging wrongdoing in the Biden family’s business dealings. He referenced ongoing investigations into Hunter Biden and suggested that Biden’s “top people” were collaborating with the district attorney’s office.
Trump painted a grim picture of the current state of the United States under Biden’s leadership, criticizing what he perceives as failures in border security, justice, and media coverage of factual information.
In the trial itself, Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, relating to alleged payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Trump maintains his innocence, labeling the trial as political persecution.
As the first president in U.S. history to undergo a criminal trial, Trump’s case has drawn significant attention both domestically and internationally. Despite the legal proceedings, Trump has asserted his commitment to truthfulness and intends to testify during the trial.
