the president of the united states breaks his silence on the historic guilty verdict brought against his predecessor. good evening. i'm norah o'donnell, and thank you for being with us. president biden said no one is above the law come a day after former president trump was convicted of state charges in new york. 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up his relationship with an alleged film star, an adult film star. it's a sharp contrast with donald trump's angry and rambling come off the cuff remarks today, where he called the system rigged, the trial a scam, and the judge a devil. tonight, trump is leaving new york for his country club in bedminster, new jersey, but the fallout from the monumental verdict in manhattan courtroom is just starting to be felt. cbs's chief election and campaign correspondent robert costa shows us how both the president and the former president are reacting. >> it's reckless.

it's dangerous. and it's irresponsible. for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't e verdict. >> reporter: today, and asked ordinary moment in american history. president biden sharply rebuking his predecessor's response to being convicted by a jury of his peers. biden spoke just two hours after former president donald trump vented and lashed out at the judge in the atrium of trump tower. >> it was a rigged trial. we wanted a venue change. where we could have a fair trial. we didn't get it. >> reporter: in 33 minute remarks that snowballed from one grievance to another, trump accused biden of using the justice system as a political weapon against him and others associated with the case. biden fired back with a wholesale defense of the system. speak our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years. and it literally is the cornerstone of america. the justice system should be respected. and we should never allow anyone to tear it down.

>> reporter: while he president's campaign has spoken out on the trial, biden himself has often been muted on it. until today. >> the jury heard five weeks of evidence. five weeks. they found donald trump guilty. on all 34 felony counts. not only should he be given the opportunity to appeal the decision as he should just like anybody else. >> reporter: trump's remarks were billed as a press conference but no questions were taken on several false statements were made, including this came about the united states. >> we are living in a fascist state. >> reporter: trump also relatives judge juan merchan. >> you saw what happened to some of the witnesses that were on our side. they were literally crucified by this man. who looks like an angel, but he's really a devil. >> reporter: throughout the trial, there was speculation trump might testify. he said today he wanted to. he and his lawyers ultimately decided against it. >> the theory is you never

testify because as soon as you testify, anybody, if it were george washington, don't testify, because they will get you on something you said slightly wrong and then they sue you for perjury. >> norah: to be clear, no one was literally crucified. robert costa joins us now for outside trump tower, and robert, i understand you spoke with donald trump's lawyer about his legal options. what did he tell you? >> reporter: norah, trump's lawyer todd blanche told us it's a tough road ahead for the legal team in the coming weeks ahead of sentencing, and he explained it in an in-depth interview. let's listen. is there any chance the trump team is going to try to move the sentencing date from july 11th? >> we are thinking about it. but i don't think so. the judge set the date. he presumably knew what was happening the next week. and we want to move forward with an appeal. we think an appeal has a lot of merit. we think we are going to win on appeal, and so right now we are proceeding as the sentencing is july 11th and getting ready for it. >> reporter: is the former president comfortable having his sentencing happened just days

before the republican convention? >> i don't know if comfortable is the word i would use about anything happening in this case, and certainly a sentencing, but he is resolute, as we are, that getting to an appeal is important for him and important for the american people. >> reporter: today at trump tower, your client, the former president, called jud judge merchan a devil. was that advised by his legal team? >> i do not advise president trump on what he should say to the american people. i have not been quiet about our views of judge merchan presiding over this case peered and looked, he heard guilty 34 times yesterday, in a case that he passionate believes there was no crime. i share that belief. so the idea that he would react with frustration, and even anger, at what happened, i can't judge him for that. and i won't. >> reporter: is it possible your client could be in jail during the republican national convention? >> it's possible. that's something that i don't want to think about. i don't think it's going to happen. but it's possible, of course.

>> reporter: but many top republicans tell me they are thinking about it, unsettled about the possibility, however remote, that their nominee, donald trump, could be behind bars when he accepts the nomination. norah? >> norah: revealing interview. robert costa, thank you very much. there was another big headline from the white house today. president biden endorsed a new israeli proposal for a cease-fire in the gaza hamas war. it is the first time the president has spoken about the conflict since sunday's deadly explosion at a tent camp for refugees in rafah, where israel is currently expanding its offensive in spite of international pressure. we want to show you this new video of it is really tanks and troops moving further into the city. that's a place where fleeing refugees were told to evacuate to. president biden made clear today it is time for the conflict to end. cbs's ed o'keefe reports from the white house. >> it's time for this war to e

end. for the day after you begin. >> reporter: president biden's endorsement of a new cease-fire plan came a day after a top israeli security official said his country is preparing for at least seven more months of war. the presidents at the latest proposal may be the best chance for peace. >> it's a road map to an enduring cease-fire and the release of all hostages. >> reporter: the three-based plan transmitted by israeli officials to hamas leadership by qatar would start with a six talks of a permanent into the war, a withdrawal of israeli military forces from gaza's population centers, and the release of elderly and female hn exchange for hundreds of palestinians and israeli. and 600 trucks of desperately needed humanitarian aid would be allowed into gaza each day. >> hamas says it wants a cease-fire. this deal is an opportunity to prove whether they really mean

it. >> reporter: israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his coalition government authorized the cease-fire proposal, but he said the war won't end until hostages are returned and the elimination of hamas' military and governmental capabilities. the president suggested netanyahu's goal isn't possible, but... >> at this point, hamas no longer is able of carrying out another october 7th, 1 of israel's main objectives in this war, and quite frankly, a righteous one. >> reporter: nt called on those who had taken to the streets around the war to direct their pressure at hamas. >> let the leaders know they should take this deal. >> reporter: the president is heading to france next week to mark the d-day anniversary and to meet with leaders, likely to also push them to help broker peace. and congressional leaders are inviting prime minister netanyahu to address a joint session of congress before their august recess in the coming weeks. norah? >> norah: significant developments, ed o'keefe,

thank you. it has been an extra ordinary day of news today, so let's bring our team here in the studio to help provide some context. major garrett, r cbs news chief washington correspondent, and margaret brennan, cbs news chief koren affairs correspondent. margaret, let's talk about this other big international news today. president biden announcing from the white house there's a road map, and his words, you followed this so closely. how significant is this? >> margaret: norah, it is significant because a lot of what is in here hamas had previously asked for so when president biden said israel had blessed this four page proposal, that is significant peer and president biden's handing opportunity to the politically-embattled israeli prime minister, who is under pressure from the far right of his party, who want to keep the war going and to militarily occupy gaza, and from those on the left, who have been protesting in the streets for eight months, pressing for a diplomatic deal, not war, in order to bring the hostages home. so this offer, though, would require a concession, recognition of a future

palestinian state, something benjamin netanyahu does not support, but in exchange, he get this promise of historic peace deal with saudi arabia and for israelis to potentially get to move back to their homes on that border with lebanon. and so far, hamas is saying, it know my positively. >> norah: the president saying today though proposal has been communicated by the qatari's to hamas. much pressure does it put on hamas? >> margaret: secretary blake it is time to build that pressure because he has been working the phones flying back from europe, calling all sorts of countries with any kind of influence, including turkey. >> norah: so many people want this conflict to end. major boykin, before he outlined this new initiaive, he talked about the donald trump trial ano talk about donald trump legal troubles. why? >> major: there were a lot of a lot of conversations endemic arctic circles, search of the president draw a line, former president trump, now a convict, make that a very clarifying part of the campaign.

the president decided not to do this. he rooted this in the state procedures, state due process was followed, peels can go forward, and this was done by a jury, not by him, not by his administration drawing a clear mind. when all critics of the president will note that this president offered no misgivings about state prosecutor's cobbling together a unique array of misdemeanors and felonies to go after a former president. institutionally they may wonder if any future presidents, biden, trump, or any other, may regret that, but this is kind of a shock to the campaign and resets a little bit. the peace deal that he put on the table today and the embrace of the legal procedure sort of gives biden this idea of peace and law. what did the former president talk about today? immigration and grievance. that's kind of the campaign reset that emerges after this historic verdict yesterday. >> norah: joe biden saying today no one is above the law and that the justice system is the cornerstone of american democracy. great to have both of you today. thank you so much.

today, the texas supreme court rejected a challenge to the states abortion ban. after a lawsuit was filed by a group of women who had serious pregnancy complications. the 20 women who sued did not seek to overturn texas as abortion ban, but rather to clarify for patience and doctors when medical exceptions are allowed under the law. plaintiff jessica bernardo says she was forced to go out of state for an abortion after learning her baby had serious medical conditions and would not survive. >> my doctor, my ob-gyn, wanted to support me. her hands were tied. the hospital ethics committee didn't know what to do. and i think, because we still don't have clarity in this, and there is so much a bagness, i think their hands still would have been tied. >> norah: the court, made up of nine republican judges, voted unaniunanimously against the wo,
