Biden Campaign Holds Press Conference Outside Trump Trial with Robert De Niro and Capitol Police Officers

The Biden campaign held a press conference outside the Manhattan courthouse where former President Donald Trump's hush money trial is ongoing. Actor Robert De Niro, wearing an N95 mask, along with Capitol Police officers Harry Dunn and Michael Fanone, who is now with CNN, spoke on behalf of the campaign. De Niro criticized Trump, calling him a 'clown,' 'tyrant,' and 'buffoon,' and warned that Trump's re-election could lead to the destruction of the country and the world. The event was marked by confrontations with Trump supporters, who heckled De Niro and accused the Capitol officers of being 'traitors.' De Niro responded by calling the supporters 'gangsters.' The Biden campaign's move appears to be an attempt to refocus attention on the January 6th Capitol insurrection.
