Lat week, Trump became the first former US president to be convicted of a crime when a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence a porn star ahead of the 2016 election.
"For the first time in American history, a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency," Mr Biden told a small group of donors during a fund-raiser in Greenwich, Connecticut.
"But as disturbing as that is, more damaging is the all-out assault Donald Trump is making on the American system of justice," Mr Biden said, adding that it was "reckless and dangerous" to say the justice system is rigged because Trump and his allies do not like the outcome.
Mr Biden until now had largely stayed away from addressing Trump's guilty verdict to avoid creating the impression he was politicising the process, according to Biden campaign officials.
