President Joe Biden repeatedly declined to comment on the indictment of his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, as he departed the White House Friday morning.
A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Trump Thursday, making him the first former U.S. president to be charged with a crime, the culmination of a political rise defined by unprecedented scandal.
Departing the White House for storm-ravaged Mississippi, Biden was asked if he was concerned about protests or the nation becoming more divided as a result of the indictment.
The president repeatedly responded that he has "no comment."
