President Joe Biden took off his veil Thursday during a stop in New Hampshire.
“We have to lock him up,” Biden told a small crowd during a loud tirade against his archenemy Donald Trump, according to multiple reports.
For years, the president refrained from publicly supporting Trump's imprisonment.
Biden then pulled himself together and tried to clean up the mess he had caused.
“We're going to lock him up politically,” Biden said. report Stephen Michael. “Keep him out, that's what we have to do.”
Mr. Biden denied the White House's involvement in the lawsuit against Mr. Trump, which continues after Mr. Biden was removed from office with the removal of Vice President Kamala Harris.
But in November 2022, as reports emerged that Trump was seeking a return to the White House, Biden vowed to pursue measures beyond the ballot box to prevent Trump from winning reelection.
At a press conference on November 9, 2022, Biden was asked about the possibility of President Trump running for president in 2024. “We just need to prove that we will not seize power.” Our Constitutional Efforts Will Not Be Next President Again [sic]”
This sensational promise preceded the eruption of an extraordinary legal attack on Trump, most vividly illustrated by three events on a single date: November 18, 2022.
That day, just… over a week After Mr. Biden announced his pledge and Mr. Trump subsequently entered the race, three events occurred, two of them behind closed doors, that suggested adjustments from the White House.
In what will inevitably be made public, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on November 18 appointed special counsel Jack Smith to investigate President Trump.
But two other important developments happened behind the scenes that day. Matthew Colangelo, the former No. 3 official at the U.S. Department of Justice, has resigned to take a position in the Manhattan prosecutor's office. And Nathan Wade, a former special prosecutor for Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis, met for eight hours with the White House Counsel's Office on official business.
Wade's only job in Willis' office was to oversee the prosecution of Trump.
Mr. Smith reopened the investigation into Mr. Trump and ultimately pursued a novel legal theory to do so. His prosecutions in Washington and Florida have stalled, and a federal judge in Florida has dismissed the case against Trump on the basis of confidential documents.
Mr. Colangelo similarly revived Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg's investigation into Mr. Trump. Colangelo played a key role in Trump's conviction on 34 felonies, giving the Biden and now Harris campaigns material they used countless times on the stump. But the case also faces hurdles and could be overturned on appeal.
Wade was hired by Willis to handle the Trump case, which ran into many challenges both in and out of court. Wade was ordered to recuse himself from the case by a Georgia judge after his sexual relationship with Willis was revealed.
Among other charges and lawsuits, Trump also faced attempts to remove him from the ballot on dubious 14th Amendment grounds, but the Supreme Court blocked those efforts.
