WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥 President said Friday that his predecessor, Donald Trump, was found guilty and 鈥渋t鈥檚 reckless, it鈥檚 dangerous, it鈥檚 irresponsible, for anyone to say this is rigged just because they don鈥檛 like the verdict.鈥

His comments came the day after the conclusion of Trump's in New York, when the former president was convicted on all 34 felony charges in a hush money case stemming from the 2016 election.

Biden for months had stridently avoided involvement in Trump鈥檚 legal dramas, looking to keep from feeding into his Republican rival鈥檚 claims that his criminal woes were the result of politically motivated prosecutions. But as the New York trial concluded, his campaign became far more vocal about it.
