Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 18:46:17 GMT

WASHINGTON DC – Es raro que un mandatario del mundo libre guarde silencio, pero es evidente que el presidente Joe Biden ha resuelto decir lo menos posible sobre la acusación presentada contra su predecesor Donald Trump por la justicia federal.La Casa Blanca esquiva las preguntas al respecto. Su campaña no las responde. Y Biden mismo no quiere tener nada que ver con ello. “No tengo nada que decir sobre lo sucedido”, dijo a la prensa el viernes 9 de junio en Rocky Mount, Carolina del Norte.Esta reticencia refleja la situación precaria y sin precedentes en que se encuentra Biden: así como Trump es el primer expresidente acusado de un crimen federal, Biden es el primer presidente cuyo gobierno ha acusado a su principal rival político.

MIAMI (AP) — Donald Trump became the first former president to face a judge on federal charges as he pleaded not guilty in a Miami courtroom Tuesday to dozens of felony counts that he hoarded classified documents and refused government demands to give them back.The history-making arraignment, centering on charges that Trump mishandled government secrets that as commander-in-chief he was entrusted to protect, kickstarts a legal process that will unfold at the height of the 2024 presidential campaign and carry profound consequences not only for his political future but also for his own personal liberty.Trump approached his arraignment with characteristic bravado, posting social media broadsides against the prosecution from inside his motorcade and insisting as he has through years of legal woes that he has done nothing wrong and was being persecuted for political purposes. But he sat scowling inside the courtroom with his arms crossed as a lawyer entered a not guilty plea on his behal...
