President Joe Biden has publicly called for the imprisonment of former President Donald Trump while campaigning for Kamala Harris. This statement has sparked significant controversy, with critics arguing that Biden's remarks represent a political move against a leading candidate in the upcoming presidential election. The Biden-Harris administration has been accused of using the Department of Justice to target political opponents, a claim that has intensified following Biden's comments.
