President Joe Biden brushed off claims by Donald Trump that the New York hush-money trial was politically-motivated and orchestrated by the White House.
'I didn't know I was that powerful,' Biden quipped when asked about it.
The president also said he wasn't worried he may end up in court one day like Trump.
'Not at all. I didn't do anything wrong. The system still works,' he said.
Republicans have been trying to tie Biden to his son's Hunter business dealings, claiming they were working together to enrich the family. Biden has said repeatedly he wasn't involved in his son's work.
The president, who answered a few questions from Fox News' Peter Doocy as he left an event celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl win, also said he had 'no idea' if the conviction would help Trump in the election.
A new poll from DailyMail.com post-conviction show Trump had gained six points in his race against Biden.
'The other thing - a poll came out. The first poll. Maybe others will be bad. But the poll just came out a little while ago [by] the Daily Mail. Does anybody read the Daily Mail? They have a good poll. I like it today,' Trump said at his press conference on Friday.
'The Daily Mail just came out with a poll and it has Trump up six points in the last 12 hours. Six points since this happened. Who thought this could happen,' said Trump to applause among his supporters gathered at Trump Tower.
'Because the people of our country know it's a hoax. They know it's a hoax. They get it. They are really smart and it's really something.'
Earlier Friday Biden called Trump 'reckless' and 'irresponsible' in his first comments responding to the ex-president's historic guilty hush money verdict.

The chicom bribe trial will be exciting.
Which is why Ol' Rumpleforeskin's DOJ stooge Matt Colangelo took a demotion to run the hit on President Trump.
Dude, Biden doesn’t know anything. He’s crazier than a one eyed tick on a Carolina coon hound.
Obama pulls his stings.
Soros pulls obamas strings.
And Klaus Schaub is in a closet somewhere with a little Muslim boy.
The New York Democrats have opened Pandora’s box. There are plenty of Republican DA’s and attorneys general. Soros must be grinning from ear to ear.
In truth Obiden will not likely survive long enough to be tried for anything. If the body still lives the mind will be gone and the body will be in nursing care around the clock.
This is the essence of the problem at hand which I see is not emphasized by those on Trump's side.
The way things are supposed to work in the US is that if you do something "wrong" and get caught, you can be prosecuted.
What we have now is that it is Trump who has done nothing wrong, yet here we are. We have people turning over every stone and leaf looking for a way to prosecute, so they don't even need a crime, just a claim of wrongdoing for which they can punish through the process, even if he's ulitimately found not guilty.
As such, the wrongdoers are those abusing their powers to accomplish this. But is that itself a crime?
Well yes, actually. On one hand, there is prosecutorial misconduct and slander, which are civil offenses, but there the crime of deprivation of rights under color of law.
At a minimum, the prosecutors and judges in these cases who abuse their office should be charged or impeached accordingly.
Holding wrongdoers accountable for their actions is not "retaliation" or "revenge", but justice. If this doesn't happen you can expect more of the same in spades.
Idiot RINOs who don't pursue this accountability in the name of stability or what or not being "vengeful", are only adding to instability by leaving the wrongdoers holding the reins of power to continue their abuse.
Why bother putting Biden on trial? He could honestly say, “I don’t recall” about pretty much anything.
He’s 5 steps from a walker.
If her were not president he would already be using a walker. Those crowds around him when he is walking across the lawn are to catch him when he stumbles or just collapses as much as for camouflage.
Something’s going on with the dogs. Some of those people who have been shredded in attacks by the dogs will have plenty of witnesses.
Yeah, biden and company are as clean as any sewer plant slurry pit.
That smirk was so like Biden. In that addled mind of his, you know he just wanted to say, “ No on e f***’* with a Biden”
Hillary Clinton winks
