Fact checking Trump's remarks after historic conviction in "hush money" trial

Former President Donald Trump's Manhattan criminal trial concluded Thursday with a historic conviction, and in remarks in New York Friday morning, Trump continued to repeat false or misleading claims that framed the legal verdict as a partisan political attack. 

CBS News fact checked four of Trump's claims about his trial on Friday morning. 

Claim 1: "This is all done by Biden and his people."

Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed President Biden was behind the criminal trial in Manhattan: "They are in total conjunction with the White House and the DOJ, just so you understand," Trump said Friday morning a day after his conviction. "This is all done by Biden and his people." 

This claim is false. Mr. Biden had no direct influence or power over the attorneys or the judge involved in this case. Further, the case was not brought by the U.S. Department of Justice. It was brought by the Manhattan district attorney's office. The trial did not take place in federal court, but rather within the court system in New York.
