The White House said Friday it had no advance knowledge of the federal indictment against former President Donald Trump and refused to weigh in on the case, saying it wanted to respect the Justice Department’s independence.
Principal deputy White House press secretary Olivia Dalton said President Biden and senior staff learned of the seven-count indictment in Florida late Thursday “just like everybody else last night.”
Ms. Dalton said the government is “always prepared” for possible protests related to the charges, but she offered no details and took pains to avoid talking about the case.
