Biden Campaign Press Conference Outside Trump's Trial
The Biden campaign staged a press conference outside the Manhattan courtroom where closing arguments were set to begin in Trump's business records trial. Actor Robert DeNiro and two former Capitol police officers spoke, with De Niro claiming Trump would never leave office if re-elected and referring to his supporters as 'clowns' and 'gangsters.' The move was seen as desperate and political.
