WATCH: Reporters Bombard Biden With Questions About Trump Indictment — ‘Will It Divide Our Country?’

President Joe Biden was bombarded with questions about the indictment of former President Donald Trump by reporters who asked, among other things, if it “will divide our country?”

The media went into overdrive when News broke on Thursday afternoon that Trump has been indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s grand jury investigating the circumstances around hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. According to reports, Trump faces 34 counts in the sealed indictment, and will be arrested and arraigned on Tuesday.

On Friday morning, President Biden spoke with reporters on the South Lawn of the White House as he prepared to board Marine One en route to Mississippi to visit those devastated by the storms in the region.

As he made his way across the South Lawn, Biden was peppered with questions about the indictment, and offered only curt dismissals:
