The former American president, Donald Trump, in a press conference on Friday said that the decision to plead guilty to falsifying business documents "was made by the current president Joe Biden and his people."
"Unless you understand, this is all done by Biden and his people, maybe his people, and more importantly, I don't know if he knows about it because I don't know if he knows anything about anything, but he's however the president and we must use his name. This was done by Washington and no one has ever seen something like this," he said.
Trump has said he will appeal the decision.
"If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone", he added, repeating that Biden "is destroying the state".
Trump has repeated the attack on the jury. He said that the witnesses against him were crucified.

Trump found guilty in historic trial
Asked if he was afraid of imprisonment, Trump said that "this is what an old man would normally say". "But I don't feel 77 years old", he emphasized.
On Thursday evening, Trump was found guilty in a New York court of falsifying the company's business records. He was found guilty of 34 charges.
Trump was accused of falsifying records to hide reimbursements he made to his lawyer, Michael Cohen, who paid porn actress Stormy Daniels $130 in the 2016 presidential campaign in exchange for her not publicly present the claim that she had sexual relations with Trump a decade earlier.
In this case, Trump became the first former president to be convicted of a criminal offense.
Each charge carries a maximum sentence of 4 years, and in total Trump could face a maximum sentence of 136 years.
