White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refrained from commenting on former President Donald Trump's criminal trial currently underway in New York. Jean-Pierre cited the ongoing nature of the trial and Trump's status as the presumptive GOP nominee for president as reasons for the silence.
In contrast, Jean-Pierre emphasized that President Joe Biden's focus remains on his duties as the current president.
Reports indicate that Biden and his campaign have opted not to engage in discussions regarding Trump's trial, adhering to their usual strategy of maintaining a low profile on Trump's legal matters.
Officials have clarified that Biden is unlikely to incorporate his predecessor's trial into his criticisms against him. Furthermore, the campaign does not intend to leverage Trump's legal challenges as a means of fundraising from their supporters.
