The trial against President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden will “absolutely not” interfere with the president’s ability to do his job, the White House said Monday.
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden is “the President of the United States and he always puts the American people first and is capable of doing his job.”
Jean-Pierre said she had “nothing to share” when asked how the president was monitoring the proceedings and if he spoke to his son after the court concluded on Monday.
Earlier Monday, Biden released a statement in support of his son, writing in part: “I am the president, but I am also a dad.”
Jean-Pierre read the statement in full and said that outside of the statement, she didn’t “have anything else to share.”
