Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy recently asked President Joe Biden if he is concerned about being prosecuted after his predecessor, Donald Trump was criminally convicted on Thursday via Mediaite.
Biden hosted the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs at the White House on Friday, where Doocy sought Biden’s reaction to a New York jury finding Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
It has been noted that earlier in the day, the president said it was “reckless” and “irresponsible” to baselessly allege the trial was rigged. Trump falsely asserted that Biden was behind the prosecution.
Appearing on Friday’s Special Report on Fox News, Doocy shared his brief exchange with Biden:
DOOCY: Do you think this conviction helps Trump in the election?
BIDEN: I have no idea.
DOOCY: Are you worried that this could happen to you someday? Somebody comes up with some charges and tries to bring you into court after your term?
BIDEN: Not at all. I didn’t do anything wrong. The system still works.
DOOCY: And when Trump says you’re just trying to bruise him, what do you say? Politically, politically, he thinks you’re pulling the strings behind the scenes doing all this to help yourself.
BIDEN: I didn’t know I was that powerful.
Biden is set for a 2020 rematch with Trump, who is now a convicted felon. The former president also comes under criminal indictment in three other jurisdictions. Trump’s sentencing in the New York case is set for July 11 which is four days before the Republican National Convention, where he will be nominated for president for the third consecutive time.
