De Niro and Capitol Police Criticize Trump at Manhattan Trial

President Joe Biden's campaign sent actor Robert De Niro and two former police officers to former President Donald Trump's New York criminal trial to refocus attention on Trump's role in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. This move marks a shift for Biden's team, which had previously avoided engaging with the trial to prevent validating Trump's claims of politically motivated prosecutions. The Biden campaign aims to leverage the media attention on the trial to highlight the stakes of the upcoming election, while Trump’s team argues this proves their point about political motivations behind the prosecutions.
