President Joe Biden's camp touted "no one is above the law" moments after Donald Trump was convicted on all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records in connection with the Stormy Daniels hush-money case.
"Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain," Biden campaign spokesman Michael Tyler said in a statement, according to NBC News. "But today's verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality."
"We respect the rule of law, and have no additional comment," White House counsel's office spokesperson Iam Sams said.
Biden isn't expected to hold a press conference regarding Trump's verdict, but could comment on it during future briefings with the media, the outlet reported, citing an unnamed source.
The Biden campaign weren't the only allies of the 46th President to vocalize their support of the jurors' unanimous decision. Many Democratic lawmakers celebrated the historic verdict.
"He was found guilty on all 34 counts," New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said during a Town Hall immediately following the adjudication. "The rule of law applies to everyone."
In a statement to FOX News, California Rep. Adam Schiff echoed a similar sentiment. "Guilty. Today, 12 ordinary American citizens found a former president guilty of dozens of felonies. Despite his efforts to distract, delay, and deny - justice arrived for Donald Trump all the same. And the rule of law prevailed."
"The jury has spoken," South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn wrote on X. "Justice has prevailed."
Trump faces up to four years in prison for paying Daniels – a former porn star – $130,000 to keep quiet of their affair during the 2016 presidential election.
"This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt," Trump told reporters outside the courtroom Thursday, adding that the case is "far from over," according to CBS News.
"The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people, and they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here," he continued. "We'll fight to the end."
