Biden Repeats "No Comment" on Trump Indictment Reaction
U.S. President Joe Biden was extremely reserved regarding the criminal indictment of former U.S. President Donald Trump. Despite four rounds of questions from reporters, he only repeated the response "no comment."
On the 31st (local time), President Biden said, in response to reporters' question, "Do you think the indictment of former President Trump will divide the country?" "I have nothing to say on that matter."
When asked if he was worried about protests by Trump supporters, President Biden replied, "I will not comment on the Trump indictment." Reporters followed up with questions such as "What does this indictment mean for the rule of law?" and "Does it seem politically motivated?" but President Biden only repeated, "I have nothing to say at all," and "I have nothing to comment on regarding Trump."
President Biden's silence on the indictment of former President Trump appears to reflect the sensitive current situation as the first presidential indictment in U.S. history. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also said at a briefing that the White House had not received prior notice of the indictment of former President Trump.
