“Is the indictment of your predecessor politically divisive?” one reporter could be heard asking the president on Tuesday.
In response, Biden broke into a wide smile and began laughing, as his aides began yelling for reporters to leave the room.

In a last video message to his supporters before his arrest, 45th President Donald Trump declared America was now a “third world country.”
The former President was formally arrested and indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over the manner “hush money” was processed while Trump was allegedly victim to an extortion scheme in 2016 on Tuesday afternoon.
Speaking in a video posted to Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said that America was now “officially a third world country. No president in the history of our country has been subjected to such vicious and disgusting attacks. But they only attack me because I fight for you. It’s very simple. They can’t buy me and they can’t control me, and that scares them beyond belief.”
While Biden is not facing any indictments at the point, Congress is slated to interview a woman who accused him of sexual assault.
House Republicans have announced that they plan to formally interview former Senate staffer Tara Reade to examine her claims that then-Delaware Senator Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993.
According to statements made by Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on his “Firebrand” podcast, Reade will soon be providing House Republicans with a transcribed interview detailing her story about Biden’s potentially criminal sexual advance.
“At the invitation of @RepMTG and I, and with the blessing of Chairman Comer, Tara Reade (@ReadeAlexandra) will be returning to Congress to give a transcribed interview regarding her allegations that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her,” Rep. Gaetz tweeted on Wednesday.
