“Trump raped her” Biden takes tough action against the former president

president Joe Biden delivered one of the most powerful speeches of his campaign on Friday, while members of his own party have serious concerns about his candidacy.

After a weak debate performance two weeks ago and the shaky interviews that followed, more than a dozen Democratic members of Congress called on Biden to abandon his re-election bid, while numerous others voiced their concerns privately.

At a rally in Detroit, Biden appeared defiant and shouted to the crowd to thunderous applause: “I’m running!”

Later in his speech he expressed the view of his opponent Donald Trump. The former president is embroiled in a number of legal disputes. In separate cases, he was found guilty in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records, defrauding New York State, sexually assaulting a writer E. Jean Carrolland was found guilty of defaming her. Trump is also facing charges in two federal cases and one Georgia state case after attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. Federal authorities have also accused him of keeping classified documents after he left office.

“We’re going to say who he is and what he’s up to,” Biden told the crowd. “Folks, Donald Trump is a convicted criminal. Convicted!”

The crowd chanted: “Lock him up!”

“He was found guilty by a jury of his peers of 34 felonies for paying hush money to a porn star and

“It was 2016 when Trump hid it from voters,” he continued. “Donald Trump was found guilty of sexual assault by a judge who told us not to be fooled by Trump’s brushing it off. Here’s what the judge wrote. Quote: The judge in that case wrote, quote: ‘Mr. Trump tried to downplay sexual abuse because he thought it was frivolous. Mr. Trump raped her.’ That’s the judge’s language, not mine. Raped her, as many people understand the word rape.”

It should be noted that it was a Manhattan jury – not a judge – that found Trump civilly liable for the sexual assault of Carroll. The jury declined to find Trump liable for the rape.

However, in a motion, Richter Lewis Kaplan wrote that Trump raped her in a department store in the mid-1990s, although he did not do so using the exact words “Mr. Trump raped her.” (Kaplan used the words in the filing to recall his instructions to the jury, i.e., “To find that Mr. Trump raped her, Ms. Carroll must prove each of the two elements to a preponderance of probabilities.”)

“The finding that Ms. Carroll could not prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of New York criminal law does not mean that she could not prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people generally understand the word ‘rape,'” Kaplan said. “In fact, as the trial evidence below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump

actually did just that.”

Biden continued his broadsides against the former president, pointing to his additional legal problems.
