At the White House’s daily press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was extremely tight-lipped about the Trump indictment and today"s events in Florida, writes BBC.

Jean-Pierre was asked repeatedly about Biden’s views on the indictment, but largely declined to answer. She refused to even acknowledge that the president had been briefed on the matter.

“We’re just going to be very mindful here with respect to the Department of Justice and just let them do their job”, - she said.

Jean-Pierre did, however, shoot back at suggestions from Biden’s political opponents that he somehow played a role in the indictment.

“He was not involved. The president has been very, very clear: the Department of Justice is independent”, - she added.
