In a dramatic turn during the presidential debate, tensions escalated as President Joe Biden confronted former President Donald Trump about his mounting legal challenges. 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.
Biden in the debate referenced a court ruling that held Trump liable for sexually assaulting writer E. Jean Carroll in 1996, later defaming her by dismissing her allegations as false. «Think of all the civil penalties you have. How many billions of dollars do you owe in civil penalties for molesting a woman in public, for doing a whole range of things, having sex with a porn star while your wife is pregnant?» Biden asked.
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.
