But Biden, the White House, his campaign, and most Democratic officials are remaining mum amid Trump's second indictment, the first time a sitting or former president faces federal charges, criminal or otherwise.Never prevent a rival from"destroying" their own credibility, according to former Democratic strategist Christopher Hahn.
"If Trump is indicted twice more — in Georgia for trying to influence the election results and in D.C. for his role on Jan. 6 — I think it becomes harder for him to keep any GOP political leaders on his side, though his base will not desert him," the Colby College visiting politics instructor and one-time candidate said.
Trump's documents, not returned after they were subpoenaed last year, allegedly pertain to"defense and weapons capabilities of the United States and foreign countries," including nuclear programs, from the CIA to the Pentagon and National Security Agency.
Biden, who can be an undisciplined communicator, was on message Friday when asked after an economic and workforce address at Nash Community College in Rocky Mount whether he had spoken to Attorney General Merrick Garland.
