What I can tell you is that President\u2064 Biden has been clear that \u2063he \u2063will not\u2064 interfere in any Justice Department investigations or prosecutions. He is a firm believer in the independence\u2064 of the judicial system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This statement \u2062reaffirms President Biden&#8217;s commitment to\u2062 upholding the principles of justice and\u200c fairness.

President Biden&#8217;s refusal to interfere in\u200c his \u200cson&#8217;s\u200b legal\u2063 proceedings demonstrates a commitment to these values \u2063and serves as a reminder that no one \u200cis above the law.<\/p>\n<p>As\u2064 the \u200blegal process moves\u200b forward, it is important for all parties involved \u200dto respect the independence\u200b and integrity of the judicial\u200b system.
