No one is above the law

A firm opposition to judgment Donald Trump The president’s campaign said yesterday’s “money and secrecy” lawsuit proved “no one is above the law,” but it won’t materially change the dynamics of the Nov. 5 election. Joe BidenAccording to Reuters and BTA.

“There’s only one way left. Donald Trump Outside the Oval Office: through the ballot box,” Biden campaign spokesman Michael Taylor said after the ruling.

Donald Trump Yesterday, a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying documents to cover up hush money payments to porn stars before the 2016 election, making him the first former US president to be convicted.

After two days of deliberations, the 12-member jury announced that it had found Trump guilty of all 34 charges against him. Any conviction requires unanimous consent.

The report said Biden’s campaign team spent weeks thinking about how to deal with the outcome of Trump’s “pay-to-shut” lawsuit and ultimately decided not to change course, believing that a conviction would not substantively change the dynamics of the election.

Instead, they said they planned to continue focusing on their core campaign messages — threats to democracy and access to abortion.

“Convicted or not, Trump will be the Republican presidential nominee,” said campaign spokesman Taylor.

Biden is currently in his hometown of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with his family and did not make any public appearances for the rest of the day.

President Biden’s White House chose not to say much after the grand jury’s decision. “We respect the rule of law and will not be making further comment,” White House spokesman Ian Sams said.

“It is a disgrace. This was a rigged process, presided over by a controversial and corrupt judge,” the former US president said. Donald Trump After the verdict was made, Trump concluded: “We’re going to keep fighting. We’re going to fight to the bitter end, and we’re going to win… On November 5th, the people are going to make the real judgment. They know what happened here. I’m a very innocent man.”

“Today is a shameful day in American history,” said U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Reuters noted that polls show that a conviction could put Trump at risk in the election, which could be decided by just tens of thousands of votes in some swing states.

But campaign strategists say the threats to Trump may be overstated.

“I’ve always suspected that voters who say ‘if he’s convicted, they’re going to have to reconsider’ are pretending to be rational and thoughtful, but in reality they’re going to vote for him anyway,” said Jimmy Siegel, a Democratic strategist. “So I don’t think it’s going to have much of an impact,” he concluded.
