President Joe Biden’s campaign is facing criticism after organizing an event with actor Robert De Niro outside the courthouse where former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial is happening.
On Tuesday, De Niro and cops who were present during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol traveled to Manhattan, and stood outside the courthouse while Trump’s trial was ongoing to blast the former president. But the stunt is not getting glowing reviews even as the campaign insists it was not talking about or politicizing the trial.
And on Wednesday, former Obama adviser David Axelrod wrote a column for CNN criticizing the move.
“For more than five weeks, President Joe Biden had mostly avoided plunging into the reality show that has been Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in Manhattan. Biden did not want to feed Trump’s feverish charge that he was the cause of the former president’s myriad legal problems,” Axelrod wrote.
