As former President Donald Trump was arraigned in New York, the world looked to the White House for a comment from President Joe Biden. However, the press corps was met with a simple "no comment" as the President sat with his Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later explained that Biden would not comment on an ongoing case and was focusing on the American people. Despite the remarks, journalists repeatedly tried to get a comment on the issue. Jean-Pierre said Americans should "feel reassured" that the White House won't comment on an ongoing case, and the President is not focusing on the situation. While the White House has been largely silent on the issue since news of the indictment first broke last week, Jean-Pierre previously said that Biden was not aware of the charges ahead of time. The White House is prepared for any potential unrest that may happen in relation to Trump's indictment.
