Biden Labels Trump as Convicted Felon in Historic Fundraiser Speech

President Joe Biden called former President Donald Trump a 'convicted felon' during a fundraiser in Greenwich, Connecticut. This marks the first time in American history that a convicted former president is seeking the office of the presidency. Biden criticized Trump's attacks on the U.S. Justice system as damaging.

President Joe Biden on Monday called former President Donald Trump a "convicted felon" who is seeking the office of the presidency for the first time in American history. Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime last week when a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence a porn star ahead of the 2016 election.

"For the first time in American history a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency," Biden told a small group of donors during a fundraiser in Greenwich, Connecticut. Biden said Trump's attacks on the U.S. Justice system are "more damaging."
