White House Principle Deputy Press Secretary Olivia Dalton told reporters the White House was holding back from commenting on former President Donald Trump’s latest indictment, his fourth, as it has with previous charges against him.

President Joe Biden ran on promises to “restore democracy,” and Ms. Dalton reiterated that platform as an explanation as to why the White House has not spoken about the 45th president’s indictments coming from his administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ).
