United States President, Joe Biden, has applauded the New York court judgment convicting Donald Trump, saying that “no one is above the law”.
Trump was found guilty of all 34 counts he faced on charges of falsifying business records to commit election fraud.
This makes the 77-year-old the first ex-American president to be criminally convicted.
A statement signed by Michael Tyler, the Biden-Harris campaign communications director, said: “In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law.
“But today’s verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality.
“There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box.”
Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11.
