As cable news channels reported the news of a jury convicting former President Donald Trump on 34 felony counts, employees of the Biden administration in the West Wing were described as 'transfixed' and 'stunned' by the developments.
According to officials, most televisions in the West Wing were tuned to a grid of four channels, including CNBC, FOX News, and MSNBC, collectively known as 'the quad.' The atmosphere in the White House was tense as foot traffic in the hallways between conference rooms and offices came to a standstill.
While the historic conviction of his predecessor was unfolding, President Joe Biden was reportedly out of the public eye in Delaware, marking the ninth anniversary of his son Beau's passing.
