With the debate well underway, Biden seized the opportunity to highlight Trump’s recent legal setbacks and criminal allegations. Biden delved into a series of issues plaguing the former president, prominently mentioning Trump’s recent conviction on 34 felony charges related to falsifying business records to conceal payments to porn star Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 election as per HuffPost.

Jean Carroll in 1996, later defaming her by dismissing her allegations as false. „Think of all the civil penalties you have.

Trump swiftly rebutted Biden’s accusations, particularly denying any involvement in the alleged affair with a porn star. „I did not engage in such conduct“, the former president countered. „That case was started and moved, and they moved a high-ranking official into the Manhattan DA’s office to start that case.
