LIVE: White House Holds Press Briefing | NBC News
White House press secretary Jen Psaki has taken the podium for today’s press briefing, and is immediately asked why now Joe Biden is going so hard at Donald Trump.
This briefing is taking place mere hours after Biden squarely blamed Trump and his debunked lies about election fraud for the 6 January attack on the US Capitol.
“The president launched his campaign on the idea that the former president posed a unique threat to our country,” Psaki said. “We’d argue that he never shied away from making clear that his predecessor posed a threat to democracy throughout the course of his presidency.”
Psaki continued: “We are at an inflection point, in order to protect our democracy, to preserve it going forward, there is more we need to do. He made very clear that the risk we have at stake here is our democracy, burying what happened on January 6 and not taking action to protect people’s fundamental rights.”

White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked what Joe Biden’s forceful speech means for the justice department investigation into the 6 January attack on the US Capitol.
Critics have been unhappy with attorney general Merrick Garland - in particular, many had been hoping Garland’s speech yesterday would have been more like the president’s speech today in clearly laying blame for the attack at the feet of Donald Trump.
Psaki made clear that any criminal consequences that Trump may face will be up to the justice department, which acts independently of the Biden administration. No matter what Biden said today, “the president wants the justice department and the attorney general to act independently, as the attorney general demanded when he accepted the job and as the president expected and demanded from any attorney general he was going to select,” Psaki said.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki fielded a question about how Joe Biden never referred to Donald Trump by name in his forceful speech laying blame on his predecessor for the events of the 6 January attack of the US Capitol.
“There’s only one president in the history of this country that fomented an insurrection which prompted the seizing of our nation’s Capitol. I think everybody knew who he was referring to,” Psaki said.
“But as the president said today this day and the work we need to do moving forward is not about one person. It’s about the country reflecting on who we are in this moment, who we want to be moving forward, and what steps we need to take to protect our own democracy.”
When asked for comment on Trump’s response to the speech, Psaki responded, “Well, it looks like he saw the speech. I guess that’s good news. Maybe he learned something.”
