White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refrained from commenting on former President Donald Trump's criminal trial currently underway in New York. Jean-Pierre cited the ongoing nature of the trial and Trump's status as the presumptive GOP nominee for president as reasons for the silence.

In contrast, Jean-Pierre emphasized that President Joe Biden's focus remains on his duties as the current president.
