First of all, as a matter of policy, most administrations dont speak to the specifics of ongoing criminal cases.
Second, although Biden has made it pretty clear he thinks Trump is unfit to be president, he remains a big believer in the rule of law, and has a lot of faith in the justice system and its independence.
And finally, as Bidens team prepares for a likely 2024 re-election campaign, the last thing they want to do is add more fuel to Trumps MAGA inferno.
Given that the president has a tendency to take questions from reporters when they are shouted at him, he will inevitably answer a question about the indictment at some point. But even then, expect him and everyone in his White House to stick to short and sweet messaging for as long as they can.

Next question?

(82,849 posts)We know you got addicted to the former guy's incessant drama, but President Biden is a seasoned, veteran public servant. It wouldn't be appropriate for the President to comment on a criminal proceeding, especially since the charges haven't even been made public. Anything he might say would be pure speculation, and President Biden is smart enough to know he doesn't need to say anything.
