The White House this Wednesday condemned “any kind of attack” on judges and prosecutors in the context of the case of former US President Donald Trump, charged and appearing in court for making irregular payments to a pornographic actress.
“We condemn any kind of attack against any judge, as we have seen in recent years”especially since President Joe Biden took office, US government spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said.
Biden’s spokeswoman had been asked about criticism from members of the Republican Party, Trump, the New York judge and prosecutor responsible for the former president’s case.
At her daily press conference, the spokeswoman said she was unable to speak on Trump’s case, but underlined, “It’s something we certainly condemn.”
The spokeswoman further assured that Biden is not focused on this issue, but “on the American people”.
Trump appeared in a New York courtroom on Tuesday where he was charged with 34 charges related to making irregular payments to pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign to avoid going public with a sexual relationship between the two.
On his return to Florida, the Republican politician, the first former president of the United States to be impeached, described the accusation as a “baseless case” and denounced political persecution in the context of the 2024 election campaign.
