WASHINGTON — President Biden slammed the Supreme Court’s decision Monday to grant former President Donald Trump absolute immunity from prosecution for “official acts” during his presidency — saying voters “deserve” a speedier trial for his prospective election rival.
Biden, 81, spoke from the red-carpeted Cross Hall for about four minutes — reading closely from a pair of teleprompters before turning to leave as reporters peppered him with questions about his disastrous performance at Thursday’s CNN debate against Trump, 78.
“Mr. President, will you drop out of the race?” a reporter shouted as Biden turned away from his lectern.
“What makes you so confident you should be the president?” shouted another journalist at Biden — whose last-minute speech was widely understood to be a way to demonstrate his ability to lead as fellow Democrats called for him to step aside.
“The man who sent that mob to the US Capitol is facing potential criminal conviction for what happened that day and the American people deserve to have an answer in the courts before the upcoming election,” said Biden, who previously has sought to distance himself from Trump’s prosecutions, which the ex-president accuses his successor of orchestrating.
“The public has a right to know the answer about what happened on January 6 before they are asked to vote again this year,” Biden said.
“Now, because of today’s decision, that is highly, highly unlikely. It’s a terrible disservice to the people of this nation. So now the American people have to do what the court should have been willing to do, but will not. The American people have to render a judgment about Donald Trump’s behavior. The American people must decide whether Donald Trump’s assault on our democracy on January 6 makes them unfit for public office in the highest office...

Noticeable...not in Prime Time.
The “Trial” is on November 5, and the jury is comprised of 150 million voters.
Well the New York conviction didn’t hurt Trump in the least and actually caused a huge infusion of donations into his campaign. So why does Biden think another fake trial would have any different results?
Plus 40-50 million random ballots.
Good news, he's not dropping out.
Why would Trump have a trial if he had the immunity of a king? Maybe they don’t believe he has immunity. So, are they lying about what the Supreme Court decision means?
The Kiddiediddler-In—Chief should not be pronouncing guilt on Trump... in a better Country, the Hairsniffing POTUS talking like this would cause a the charges to be tossed out.
The voters deserved to know about Hunter’s laptop before the 2020 election. Instead, Biden went with the lie about ‘Russian disinformation.’
Had to hit it before his clock wound down for the day
This guy doesn’t tell the truth about anything. We still don’t know how many embedded FBI, CIA and other undercover contractors were egging on the people. The whole Jan 6 rally was about creating talking points exactly as Bidumb used them. Capitol Police opened the doors to let people stroll through. The Supreme Court said the DOJ and FBI overstepped in going after people.
“saying voters “deserve” a speedier trial for his prospective election rival”
Brandon says I’m losing and need a DC kangaroo court to convict Trump of fake J6 crimes to help me out. Pathetic.
We deserve a trial before the election alright but the defendent needs to be your dumbass for what you’ve done to destroy America. Sumbiatch.
.
He’s ignored the SCOTUS repeatedly.
Fox peeps couldn’t figure out that Joe can’t be prosecuted as President, and that Joe kept the Truth (and $30 Million dollars) from the Voters last Election.
Election Interference brings DoJ charges to people not named Biden and Clinton.
You can tell Mr. Biden ended up 76/85 in his graduating class at a thoroughly mediocre law school because it is damned obvious he knows next to nothing about the Constitution or the statutory law. Pathetic.
Got a late day shot of speed there?
4 whole minutes, what a stud.
They’re yelling questions at him like they did to Nixon.
LOL
You’re wasting your time with that, and going down a rabbit hole. All you have to do is say Trump told them to be peaceful and law-abiding, and the conversation is over.
