Exclusive:Peter Doocy Asks Biden If He’s Worried About Being Prosecuted After Trump Conviction

Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked President Joe Biden if he fears prosecution after his predecessor was criminally convicted on Thursday.

Biden hosted the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs at the White House on Friday, where afterward Doocy sought Biden’s reaction to a New York jury finding Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

Earlier in the day, the president said it was “reckless” and “irresponsible” to baselessly allege the trial was rigged. Trump has falsely maintained 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 slated for a 2020 rematch with Trump, who is now a convicted felon. The former president is also under criminal indictment in three other jurisdictions. Trump’s sentencing in

the New York case is set for July 11 – four days before the Republican National Convention, where he will be nominated for president for the third consecutive time.
