Biden calls Trump ‘reckless and dangerous’ over claims trial was rigged

President also likens his predecessor's rejection of the court verdict against him to his refusal to accept he lost 2020 election

Joe Biden has called Donald Trump reckless and dangerous" over the former president's claim that the trial leading to last week's felony conviction in a Manhattan court was rigged.

In his sharpest criticism yet of his predecessor's drive to undermine the legal integrity of the prosecution against him, the president also said a second Trump presidency would be a much greater threat to American democracy than his first. He likened Trump's rejection of the court verdict against him to his refusal to accept that he lost the 2020 presidential election.
