Trump reached out to GOP leaders and committee members after the indictment
Timing the Insiders: Biden’s First Anomalous Outburst since the Indictment of General Relativity
The White House did not make any comment and there was no evidence that public posture would change in the near future.
Officials declined to provide a window into how Biden heard of the indictment news, or what he was doing in the hours after. There would be no chance for reporters to ask him directly.
For Biden, who pledged to bring down the political pressure that threatened to fracture the country under Trump’s watch, it’s a strategy that will now be tested by a new front in the partisan warfare that has animated Trump’s campaigns and presidency.
John Kirby, spokesman for the National Security Council, said last week that they were constantly watching this, particularly in the wake of January 6.
The White House gave reporters alid, stating that there wouldn’t be anything more from Biden on Thursday.

Give the science for peace a chance
