Biden campaign sends Robert De Niro and first responders to Trump's NY trial to spotlight Jan. 6 insurrection

The Biden campaign held a news conference outside the courthouse where Donald Trump's trial was happening. They had not talked much about the trial before, but now they wanted to talk about it. They brought actor Robert De Niro and two police officers who were at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The campaign said they were not there to discuss the trial specifically. They wanted to show that Trump is not a good leader and only cares about himself. The Biden team believes that after the trial is over, they will have more chances to talk to people about why they should vote for Biden in the upcoming election. They think many people still don't realize that the choice in the election is between Biden and Trump. De Niro and the police officers spoke about how Trump's actions have hurt the country and democracy. The Biden campaign released an ad criticizing Trump's presidency and plans if he gets reelected. The ad was narrated by De Niro. The police officers shared their experiences from January 6, 2021, when Trump supporters attacked the Capitol. They said Trump is a threat to democracy and must be defeated in the election. Trump's team also had a press conference after the Democrats. They said the Biden team being at the trial showed that Trump's legal issues were just politics. They called the Biden campaign desperate and failing.
