The White House assured the public on Monday that President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden's trial will not impede the president's ability to carry out his duties. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized that President Biden always prioritizes the American people and is fully capable of fulfilling his responsibilities.
When questioned about how the president was keeping track of the trial proceedings and whether he had spoken to his son after the court session, Jean-Pierre stated that she had no additional information to provide.
President Biden had previously issued a statement expressing his support for his son, highlighting the dual role he plays as both a father and the leader of the nation. Jean-Pierre reiterated that beyond the released statement, there were no further details to disclose.
The White House's stance underscores its confidence in President Biden's ability to separate personal matters from his official duties. The administration remains focused on addressing the needs of the American people and advancing its policy agenda despite the ongoing legal proceedings involving Hunter Biden.
