Biden mocks idea he’s ‘pulling the strings’ in Trump prosecution: ‘I didn’t know I was that powerful’
President Biden mocked the notion that he was the one “pulling the strings” in prosecuting former President Trump to help himself politically.
Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Biden outside the White House whether he thought the conviction would help Trump in the presidential election, to which the president responded, “I have no idea.”
“Are you worried this could happen to you someday?” Doocy then asked. “Somebody comes up with some charges and tries to bring you into court after your term?”
“Not at all,” Biden responded. “I didn’t do anything wrong. The system still works.”
Biden had touted the justice system in his remarks and said, “The American principle that no one is above the law was reaffirmed.”
“It’s reckless, it’s dangerous and it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was ‘rigged’ just because they don’t like the verdict,” Biden said from the White House. “Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, and it literally is a cornerstone of America. Our justice system. The justice system should be respected, and we should never allow anyone to tear it down. It’s as simple as that.”
