Biden To Speak After The Jury Hands Down Their Verdict In Trump's Trial
(PoliticusUSA) At some point, likely this week, the jury will be handed the case in the Trump hush money trial, and those jurors will return a verdict.

Anyone who has been watching and listening to Trump can probably script out in advance what Trump is going to say. The interesting reaction to the case will come from President Biden, who, according to Politico, will be delivering remarks from the White House after the verdict is announced
