So far, President Joe Biden has stayed quiet during Donald Trump’s hush money trial, but that might not last long.
According to Politico, Biden plans to address the nation after the verdict is announced, no matter the outcome:
Biden intends to initially address the verdict in a White House setting — not a campaign one — to show his statement isn’t political, according to the people, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
If the jury convicts Trump, Biden’s team will then argue that the result shows Trump is ill-suited for office and that it demonstrates the extremes to which the former president would go to win again. The campaign’s social media team is considering leveraging the line of attack further, with discussions underway about referring to the ex-president online as “Convicted Felon Donald Trump.”
His team is also preparing for a barrage of Republican and Trump attacks if the former president’s acquitted or if there’s a hung jury.
Closing arguments are set for Tuesday and the jury could reach its decision as early as next week. And Biden will speak at some point after that — a definitive decision on timing and setting has not yet been made — no matter the outcome, whether it be a conviction, acquittal or hung jury. The message will be different for specific rulings, but the fundamental point will remain the same: That America’s legal system worked and that the process should be respected.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records as part of a hush-money scheme to prevent porn star Stormy Daniels from speaking out about her alleged extramarital affair before the 2016 presidential election.
Before Trump, no sitting or former president ever faced criminal charges.

Strange how his statement is ready. Almost as if he has some inside knowledge of what the decision is.
WHY would any reposonsible POTUS do such a thing?
And, Biden should be very careful. HIS time is coming.
The Trump case is about recording the expenses as a business expense or Federal election expense.
Biden is making this case like Trump has murdered someone! I believe that Billy Clinton got caught with infidelity INSIDE the White House and was charged accordingly! Monica Lewinski, multiple times…..OH, but he is a Democrat so that was okay because that is how the Dems operate! Come on Joe!!
