White House defends Biden’s silence on election-related indictments of Donald Trump.
The White House Stands Firm on Protecting Democracy
The White House is taking a cautious approach to the Justice Department’s prosecutions of former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election. However, President Joe Biden’s administration is emphasizing the importance of safeguarding democracy.
During a press briefing on Air Force One en route to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, White House deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton addressed the situation. She highlighted President Biden’s commitment to protecting the foundations of democracy and restoring the independence of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
“You’ve heard the president speak on a number of occasions about empowering the soul of our nation and making sure that we’re protecting our foundations of our democracy,” she told reporters.
“But you’ve also heard this president, even before he was in office, talk about the importance of restoring the independence of the DOJ,” she said. “And so we have to hold both of those things.”
Dalton directed reporters to local authorities in Georgia for inquiries regarding Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s decision to indict Trump and 18 co-defendants under the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Trump himself faces 13 charges, including violating the RICO law, soliciting a public official to violate an oath, and filing false documents.
Addressing concerns about media coverage dominated by Trump, Dalton defended Biden’s ability to raise awareness about his record before the upcoming election.
“You all will make your editorial decisions, but this president will stay focused on delivering for the American people,” she said. “That is his job, and that is his priority.”
