White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre assured Wednesday that, while President Joe Biden is »obviously» aware of the impeachment of his predecessor, Donald Trump, this matter »is not the focus of his attention».
»The president is going to focus on the American people, as he does every day. This (Trump’s judicial process) is not something he’s going to focus on. He’s going to focus on things like making sure we keep lowering prices for Americans,» she has said.
Jean-Pierre has assured that, »when he has a moment», President Biden »will catch up with the news», although she has stressed again that the impeachment of Trump is not a priority issue for the tenant of the White House, CNN reports.
Biden has scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, while Trump’s appearance is held, a meeting with his Council of Advisors on Science and Technology focused on artificial intelligence.
Former President Trump is inside the Manhattan District Court in New York, awaiting arraignment in the case of alleged bribery of porn actress Stephanie Clifford, known as Stormy Daniels.
Trump was indicted last week for the possible secret payment of $ 130,000 (more than 120,000 euros) to Clifford by the former lawyer of former President Michael Cohen. The former president has thus become the first former US president to be indicted, which could end his aspirations to return to the White House in the elections scheduled for 2024.
