Speaking outside the court in Lower Manhattan, the Oscar-winning actor called the former president a “monster” and charged that Mr. Trump intended to destroy both the nation and the city.
Joining him outside the courthouse were two former police officers who witnessed the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots. Mr. Biden was speaking on behalf of President Joe Biden’s campaign team, which has up until now largely ignored Mr. Trump’s legal issues.
De Niro and the policemen made no explicit mention of the criminal matter, according to a key campaign consultant for President Biden, who claimed they weren’t there to discuss the issue.
“We’re not here today because of what’s going on over there,” Michael Tyler, the head of Biden’s campaign communications, said to reporters while pointing to the courthouse.
“We’re here today because you all are here.”
In the case where the former president is accused of fabricating corporate documents to hide hush money payments to adult actress Stormy Daniels, the court is currently hearing closing arguments.
De Niro stated, “You know my view of Donald Trump, he’s a monster,” in an interview with News.
“Listen, he should never be permitted to serve as president of the United States again.
