Meanwhile, Trump's criminal hush money trial continued with longtime aide Hope Hicks' testimony. Throughout the trial, the ex-president has claimed he's being unfairly prosecuted and baselessly accused Joe Biden of being behind the trial, which he's called "election interference."

Earlier in the week, when the court was not in session, Trump hit the campaign trail in Wisconsin. While repeating his "Biden trial" claim to a local reporter, the ex-president was called out for a lack of evidence to support his accusations against the president regarding his legal issues.

While speaking with Fox 6 Milwaukee's Jason Calvi, Trump said he was currently in court for a "fake trial" that "came from Biden."

"It’s a Biden trial to try and keep me off the trail —" Trump continued before the reporter interrupted, "I don’t think there’s evidence of that, that he was involved with this."

"There’s evidence," Trump quipped back, failing to show proof supporting his attacks.
