Biden’s press secretary says the quiet part out loud — the NYC trial against former President Trump is election interference.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she can’t comment on the NYC trial against former President Donald Trump because it’s “related to the 2024 elections.”
Did Biden’s press secretary just admit to election interference?
“So look, I can’t speak to, uh…um…don’t wanna comment, obviously, as this is related to 2024 elections and I can’t speak to the Speaker’s schedule. That is something for him to decide on,” she told reporters when asked to comment on House Speaker Mike Johnson’s attendance at Trump’s trial in Manhattan Tuesday.

At face value, the NYC trial against Trump centers on “hush money” payments Trump allegedly made to porn star Stormy Daniels preceding the 2016 election.
But as Jean-Pierre suggested, the timing and merits of the case brought by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg reveal the trial is an extension of the Democrats’ lawfare campaign against Trump to weaken his 2024 election chances.
“This is what they call a confession,” former Trump adviser Stephen Miller posted on X in response to her remarks.
