politically -- he thinks you're pulling strings behind scenes. doing all of this to help yourself. >> i didn't know i was that powerful. reporter: former president trump says awe of the charges against him were politically motivated. >> it's a rigged it was a rigged trial. honored to be involved in it because somebody has to do it and i might as well keep going and be the one. but i'm very honored to be involved because we're fighting for our constitution. reporter: president biden is spending weekend in rehoboth beach and with his son with gun charges he faces up to 25 years in prison. jon. jon: we're getting into that in a moment. lucas tomlinson at the white house. thank you. so former president trump expected to attend a ufc event tonight in newark, new jersey, days after his new york city conviction. joining us with more on the trump verdict aftermath and president bide 's reaction kansas senator roger marshall member of the hole land security and governmental affairs committee. so you just heard the president say that the former president had every opportunity to defend himself in court and that the justice system worked. what do you say to that, senator? >> well what we saw was a rigged judge. a rigged d.a., the whole timing of the -- of this trial was rigged as well. no i don't i don't think this it is supposed to look like i think everybody across the world is looking at this mockery saying that the president of the united states took the blind poted off of lady justice and then he threw her underneath a speeding bus. no he did not have an opportunity to defend himself. not when a judge like he had in this particular trial put their weight their total weight on the scale. jon: well, you are one of the signers of a senate letter that suggests you don't want to cooperate with the biden administration on anything that doesn't involve the safety and security of the american people as a result of this -- of this conviction. there it is. you're one of the eight u.s. senators who are signed it. what's the purpose here? >> right. so we seen joe biden make a mockery of our legal system. and we're going to fight fire with fire. we are going to grind the senate to a halt as best -- we're going to fight against everyone of this political nominations, every one of his judges that he's nominating any type of his agenda we can we're going to slow it down as best possible. there's something called unanimous consent and that's how that 90% of the legislation gets through the senate. we're going to do everything we can to throw the brakes on it. look what joe biden did was election interference by attacking cheap political rival keeping him from -- from out there campaigning. just the timing of all of this is atrocious so we're going to fight fire with fire. i want to give senator mike lee from the great state of utah a lot of credit from meeting this letter as well so we look forward to fighting fire with fire. jon: as you well know charges were not federal charges not bright but joe biden but the alvin bragg attorney in new york city. >> no doubting about that but the real crime they were trying to -- to put together false charges. you know never did accomplish that. but the timing of this was certainly orchestrated behind scenes by joe biden he orchestrated attacks on donald trump through the legal system. all three different trials. jon: all right. so -- the president according to joe biden had every opportunity to defend himself, but a lot of observers suggest that the judge in the way he wrote the jury instructions left an awful lot of room for a conviction. >> right. you know, so first of all, i don't know of another judge in america would even try this case. i mean it was so atrocious even alvin bragg at the beginning after he was elected even though he ran on gun going after trump. after he was elected said look there's nothing there. i don't this case but suddenly trump -- suddenly trump is leading polls republican nominee and a.m. vein bragg says let's take it on. take on the judge, a person that contributed finances to joe biden's campaign. they found that judge to take this case on and yes he put his foot he took whole body weight put it on top of this scales. again he took the blinds off of lady justice and threw her under a speeding bus. jon: but let's go back to that letter that you signed along with several other republican senators american people want folks in washington to do the business of the american people. are you afraid of running a foul of the american voter by -- you know vowing to sort of grind things to a halt in the senate in response to the trump conviction? >> you probably the best thing that can happen for america is for congress to get nothing more accomplished more likely than not anything they accomplish between now and november is going to be no good. look we've already spent more money than we should of. we're already 34 trillion dollars in debt. the judicial nominee were getting in front of very much political hack jobs as well. i think the very best thing we can do for america is to stop this spengsding stop the new regulations, that they want to throw out there. and stop the biden -- the biden agenda we've seen enough of this. november can't get here soon enough. america is ready for this election. and really jon think about it. every election is about the future and i can't wait to see the two candidates present their vision as they present their vision they're going to have to go back and say here's my policies with the biggest concerns of americans being -- an open southern border and inflation what is joe biden to going to run on and president trump can say the secured the border we didn't have inflation an greatest economy of my professional lifetime i was roll back regulations. so president trump has everything to run on. i think that yes there are thursday verdict was just a blip on the radar screen. and americans are ready to move forward. jon: very quickly, joe manchin left the democratic party as a senator after the trump verdict says he is an independent now but he will still caucus with the democrats. does that change anything in the u.s. senate? >> well, i think that again on these 50/50 nominations as they go forward he has a foot now more in the moderate water as well so i think he's more inclined to say wait a second these judicial nominees that biden is given us, that are not qualified -- mind as well that some of those won't make it across the finish line and i have to point out think about who the democrat party is today. it is not the democrat party if john f. kennedy is not the democrat party of joe manchin anymore either. kyrsten sinema left them as well people are leaving the democratic party. joe biden -- he's not alone. either joe manchin is not alone. so i think that we're seeing this wave throughout the nation. jon: kansas senator roger mash cial, marshall, thank you. >> this important programming note join the "fox & friends" weekends team tomorrow morning for their exclusive sits down interview with former president trump that's right here, on fox news channel. and emotional day in court as the man accused of killing georgia nursing student laikin ray lie not prosecuted and will not seek the death penalty for jose ibarra madison scarpino live. >> her family and friends were visibility devastated as they became face-to-face with the man accused of killing her riley mom and sister started sobbing when he walked in and pleaded not guilty on 10 charges including malice, murder and kidnapping. the hearing comes three months after riley's body was found in a wooded area on uga campus. police say she went for a run and never returned. we want to warn you these details may be hard to hear. according to the indictment, he attempted to rape her and bash her head with a rock and accused of trying to stop her from calling 9-1-1. police say he entered the u.s. illegally from venezuela in 2022. here's what the former i.c.e. director said earlier today. >> he should never have been there but remain in mexico program and killed it and should have been detention. >> the case is ramped up a national immigration debate since arrested in new york in 2023 and mike collins introduced the laken riley act in the house. at riley family request they didn't want this to happen to anyone else a bill that would require dhs to detain any undocumented immigrants for small crimes like theft or shoplifting. >> said mike if there's one thing you can do just one thing you can do congress can do to ensure that maybe this never happens again -- to another family please by all mean dos that. >> the bill overwhelmingly passed in the house. but as lacking support from senate democrats some democrats believe that the bill isn't specific enough. and would disproportionately target people of color back due in court in august. >> madison scarpino thank you. still to come on the "fox report" first son hunter biden trial on gun charges on monday after a contentious over what evidence can and cannot be presented to the jury. former u.s. attorney jaytown tells what you say to watch for in this latest hope -- high profile trial this election cycle. stay tuned. ♪ ♪ to customize and save hundreds with liberty mutual!
